David Moyes has told Said Benrahma to be patient as he searches for his first West Ham goal.
Benrahma scored 17 times for Brentford in the Championship last season but has yet to get off the mark having played 20 games for the Hammers since his £30million switch from west to east London.
The 25-year-old Algerian's eagerness to break his duck was evident when he sent a couple of long-range efforts over the crossbar against Leeds on Monday.
'First of all he has got to stop hitting them over the bar, he's got to start getting them under the crossbar,' said Hammers boss Moyes.
