ALBION striker Tomer Hemed reckons French magician Anthony Knockaert can help him into double figures in his first season in English football.

The Israeli headed his seventh goal of the campaign against Brentford at the Amex on Friday evening to draw level with Bobby Zamora.

Hemed's first goal for two months was overshadowed by opening scorer Knockaert's second sparkling home performance in succession since the ex-Leicester winger's move from Standard Liege in Belgium last month.

Hemed told The Argus: "He is a very good player who can really help the team.

"He is dangerous, can create chances. He always looks for the strikers and he can score goals.

"I think he is very important for the team. I'm sure he will make good chances for me until the end of the season."

Hemed, signed from Spanish side Almeria, is relieved to be back on the scoresheet.

He said: "I'm always happy to score. Every game I try and I do my best to score.

"It didn't happen for a long time but in the last few games we've looked better. We had a tough time before with injuries."
