West Ham's Italian striker David Di Michele is hoping he can remain with the club next season after settling in well at Upton Park.

The 33-year-old is currently on loan from Italian club Torino until the end of the season.

"I would love to stay at West Ham for a few more years," Di Michele told the official club website.

"I am surprised how well I settled down in London. My wife and my children as well, we could not have asked more."

Di Michele has scored four goals so far this season in 27 Premier League appearances.

"It's has been a good season for me," he said. "Maybe I should have scored a few more goals, but I am very satisfied because I played much more games than I expected."

He said he is still hopeful that the Hammers - currently eighth in the Premier League - can qualify for next season's renamed Europa League.

"We are still in the position to get the qualification to the Uefa Cup (Europa League), which would be unbelievable," he said.

"There are still four games, we all are confident we can do it."
