Ilunga, who is on a season-long loan from Toulouse, has impressed at Upton Park after establishing himself as a regular in Gianfranco Zola's side.
The left-back has described West Ham as a 'second-rate' club and that he has ambitions of playing at a higher level.
"Without being derogatory, West Ham are a second-rate club," Ilunga is quoted as saying in The Sun.
"Let's not kid ourselves - we are not an Arsenal, Manchester United or Chelsea.
"Once I have proved myself in a team such this, I can hope to make the step up to another club.
"I am keen to continue my adventure in England."

"dude needs to find a new game. Handball, Basketaball, American football...any game where it is not a foul to use your hands! I reckon he should learn how to use his feet before chattin about playing for a top team."

"Oh dear, what does he see when he watches MOTD. Must be a very confused young man. Get rid of him, it's about time we bought a top profesional into left back. Even a second rate team deserves better than this! (maybe he meant 'second tier'?)"
