He will settle for the same status as Paolo Di Canio or Carlos Tevez but is determined to take the baton and run with it.

The Brazilian midfielder knows his club-record, £36million arrival from Lazio has immediatel­y put a target on his back.

But he said: “I’m ready for all challenges. I can accept what being a record signing means to fans and our rivals but it excites me.

“In Italy, it was more about the technical side of the game. I understand it’s faster and tougher here.

“I spoke to my great friend Willian and he urged me to come here and enjoy what the Premier League has to offer. He said it has made him a better player.

“The pressure of the fee doesn’t bother me. It’s a big responsibi­lity because it shows that the club believe in me. It comes with the game.

“I’ve heard about Bobby Moore, Di Canio, Tevez and many more here at West Ham. I want to be like them.”
