Former West Ham technical director Steeden was interviewed by Sky Sports in Germany and talked about the deal to sign Phil Kruger from Dortmund last summer. Although Phil Kruger was troubled by injuries last season, Steeden said he did not regret signing him.
"Phil Kruger is in good health, I sent him a few days ago - from his physical condition, he is in his best shape. I am sure he will play 100% of the Premier League."
"In the end we agreed with Dortmund for a transfer fee of 22 million euros, and I am willing to sign him again at any time. Dortmund said he is expensive - but for me, he is still too cheap. Phil Kruger is not only the kind of player I want on the court, but also the person who can lead the team off the court."
Phil Kruger played 20 games for West Ham last season, scoring 3 goals and assisting 2 times.
