Departing midfielder Pedro Obiang has written a lovely letter to West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan. He has left the club for Italian side Sassuolou for a feee, though to be around £7 million. Here’s his letter…
Dear Mr Sullivan,
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your help during my stay at West Ham United. I hope my attitude and behaviour has been as you expected and hoped for, I have always tried to be loyal and show respect toward you and the club. I am indebted to you for bringing me to the club and helping me to achieve a dream of mine – playing in the Premier League, a dream which I have now fulfilled with West Ham. I would have dearly liked to have achieved more in my time at the club, but maybe in the future, if the doors remain open to me, I can return.
Finally, I have to say some words for the supporters. I have some great memories with you all. The first one that comes to my head is the very first time I heard my song. Second is when I was out with injury, because I received so many good words from the fans. Third, the unforgettable last game we played at our old home, Upton Park, against Manchester United. And fourth, the many friends I made in and around the club. And there many more great memories.
I wish you all the very best – and maybe one day I will come to the stadium to feel again the passion I always felt when I was there.
Thank you.
Come on you Irons!
Pedro Obiang
They don’t make them like him anymore. Top chap.
