One of West Ham United's summer signings, Alessandro Diamanti, 26, is struggling to adapt to the different style of football that exists in England, according to Livorno president Aldo Spinelli.
Spinelli sold Diamanti to the Hammers. The player penned a five-year deal; pocketing a cool annual sum of €1 million. While the wage he receives has been described by Spinelli as "great", the Premier League still requires some adjusting.
Spinelli told Radio Kiss Kiss: "Diamanti rang me last night, admitting that it is hard to get into the style of English football."
He continued: "He earns so much money and is happy with the choice he made.
"Alessandro is a guy who three years ago was playing in the park and now is earning five million Euros in five years, for him, it is really great stuff."
Diamanti has returned two goals from seven top flight appearances since his switch in August.
