What a first week it has been for Bermuda’s Nahki Wells at his new club Huddersfield.

A day after signing from Bradford for a fee of more than £1.3 million, he comes on as a second-half substitute against Millwall and scores a dramatic, last-minute winner. Scoring spectacular goals is nothing knew for him and he could not have picked a better way to announce his arrival at Huddersfield.

We must bear in mind that the Lord has blessed Nahki with a talent to go out there and perform. He may not have made the move to a Premier League club, like many in Bermuda were hoping for, but he will be in the company of some former Premier League and old First Division teams after his step up to the Championship. And what better way to start than with a visit to Queens Park Rangers, who were relegated from the Premier League only last season and were one of the clubs reported to be keenly interested in him last summer.

My old West Ham team-mate Harry Redknapp, the QPR manager, will get to see what Nahki is all about, assuming he gets to play some part in the match. He has a natural instinct for goals and if they give him chances, he will stick them in.

Anybody who has seen him play here, who knows anything about football, knows that Nahki has the ability. I don’t doubt his ability and he just has to keep progressing by doing what he does best: stick the ball in the net. But it isn’t just his goalscoring that impresses me: I like his demeanour. He’s very level-headed and just goes about his job in the right way.

The coming weeks will be an exciting time for the player, with matches against the likes of QPR, Bournemouth, Leeds United, Wigan, the FA Cup holders who were relegated last season, Nottingham Forest, Birmingham and Sheffield Wednesday coming up between now and the end of next month, as Nahki gets to test himself against better defenders. Most of those clubs, including those such as Charlton, Blackburn, Blackpool, Middlesbrough and Reading, were in the Premier League just a few years ago, with Reading relegated last season. He will have a great opportunity to make a name for himself in the Championship.

The price Huddersfield paid for Nahki is not a lot of money in football terms today, but when you get into £30 million and £40 million then you begin talking big, big money. One such player who carried a heavy weight on his shoulders after a big move was Andy Carroll, the England striker, who left Newcastle United for Liverpool in 2011 for £35 million. Liverpool had money to spend in the wake of the sale of Fernando Torres to Chelsea for £50 million during that same transfer window.

Carroll is now with my former club and after a pre-season injury, he finally made his return last weekend in the win over Cardiff, which took the Hammers out of the bottom three. Today Carroll will be looking forward to playing against Newcastle when they visit Upton Park. I hope he is able to come out and perform. We know his capabilities: very strong in the air and a big target up front.

Sam Allardyce, the manager, likes to “hit” the front man and there is probably nobody better suited in English football for that than Carroll. Let’s hope he can do something today and get West Ham a win because they need it.

Mark Noble has promised that West Ham will not be relegated and I hope he is right. It would be sad to go down just as they are getting ready to move to the Olympic Stadium next year.
