West Ham United: Henri Camara is as pleased as punch over the two goals he scored for the reserves against Portsmouth in what was his first match since joining West Ham United. The Senegal striker showed great poise and technique to grab both goals in the 2-1 win over Portsmouth and said he was delighted to be able to play for his new club at last. "I was very pleased just to play, as I joined the club and then had to go away with Senegal which meant that I have not had much time to meet with everyone and be considered for games," he said. "To play in this match was important and very good for me and to get two goals made it even better." Henri's double strike came in the second half as West Ham showed a strong foothold in the game against an experienced Pompey side. "There were some good crosses coming into the box and I just tried to get on the end of them," he said. "I was very happy to see the goals go in, it was my first match and I hope to carry on and score more."

BBC Sport: West Ham left it late on transfer deadline day before sealing the signings of Nolberto Solano from Newcastle and Henri Camara from Wigan. Senegal striker Camara, 30, signed a season-long loan deal. (31st August, 2007)
