Robert Snodgrass has revealed he will stay at West Ham next season after holding talks with manager Slaven Bilic.

Snodgrass struggled in east London following his move from Hull City but he has said he is committed to the club despite rumours of a potential transfer.

The Scotland international failed to score in his 15 appearances for the Hammers after netting nine goals for the Tigers prior to his £10.2million transfer.

The 29-year-old admits he struggled without his family in London last season, as well as trying to fill Dmitri Payet’s boots.

“It's not easy moving to a new club in the middle of the season but I chose to join West Ham above other teams because of their great tradition and fanbase and I'm determined to make it a success,” said Snodgrass.

“There were some factors that made things difficult last season. I was living away from my family because we didn't want to interrupt schooling but next season I'll have my wife and three kids with me.

“I was also asked to play on the left to fill the gap vacated by Dmitri Payet but it's never been my position. I've scored nearly a hundred goals as a mainly right-sided player and I've said to the manager that's where I think I'm most effective.

“We've had a very good discussion and hopefully I'll be given a run of games where I'm comfortable. If it doesn't happen right away, I will have to wait for my chance.

“I'm really looking forward to meeting up with the West Ham boys for pre-season and starting again.”

Snodgrass is now looking to hit top form once the new season gets underway after a difficult start to life in a claret and blue shirt.

After playing on the right in the final game of the season at Burnley, the Scotsman is hoping to take that performance into the new campaign.

“I scored nine goals for Hull and a hat-trick for Scotland in the first half of the season, you don't do that and then become an average player overnight, so I know I can contribute to West Ham,” added Snodgrass.

“I was heartened by playing on the right for the final game against Burnley which we won. It gave me a bit of confidence and I want to take that momentum into the new season. I don't know where the stories have come about moving on. I am committed to West Ham.”
