Felipe Anderson has vowed to return to West Ham a better player and fulfil his goals in east London after agreeing a loan move to FC Porto.
The Brazilian, who arrived at the London Stadium as a club record signing two years ago, has failed to live up to his billing and has fallen down the pecking order under David Moyes.
West Ham had looked to sell the midfielder on a permanent deal earlier in the window, but could not find any takers who were willing to meet their asking price.
Having left on loan, Moyes is keen to bring in a replacement before the close of the domestic window next week - but Anderson has his sights set on making his mark upon his return next season.
"On one hand, I'm sad to not be able to help the team as [much] as I would like," Anderson told talkSPORT.
"On another hand, I'm happy to have a great opportunity to be very motivated and display my football playing for Porto; it is a great opportunity for me.
"Yes [I am disappointed] because when I come here I had a goal.
"Everything changes, this (coronavirus) as well, I lost my space at the club and I know I have a lot to show.
"I think it was the right decision for both sides for now. I have a contract with West Ham still and I need to do my best to be back stronger.
"I have in my head still two years or more with West Ham. This season didn't start the way I wanted to start playing and helping the team.
"That is difficult to say [why it didn't go my way] because I am motivated, the team now is going great. I just want to play and this was a great opportunity."
