West Ham defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka scored a stunning goal against Arsenal in yesterday’s 5-2 defeat.
The former Manchester United defender has now scored two goals in his last two games and popular manager Jamie Redknapp has heaped praise on the 30-year-old defender for his exploits.
Redknapp jokingly compared the player to Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah.
he said live on Sky Sports (November 30): “That’s a great ball, perfect timing.
He’s turned into Wan-Bi Salah, not Wan-Bissaka, two on two now, he finishes really well.”
West Ham were quite disappointing against Arsenal on Saturday and fans will be disappointed with their performances this season. However, Wan-Bissaka was one of the few bright sparks in the team. The 30-year-old defender has been in good form since his move to West Ham and will be hoping to continue to perform at a high level.
It will be interesting to see if West Ham can turn things around and bounce back strongly. They were expected to fight for European qualification this season and do well in domestic trophies. Things have clearly not gone according to plan for them and they are very much in the fight for survival.
Manager Julen Lopetegui is under a lot of pressure and there has been rumors of a possible exit. It will be interesting to see if the Hammers are prepared to be patient with the Spanish manager.
Alternatively, they could show him the door and bring in a replacement before the January transfer window so the new manager can improve the squad and help them bounce back in the second half of the campaign. They have been associated with people like Graham Potter.
West Ham have quality players at their disposal and a change of manager could bring out the best. In addition, they will be able to fill the gaps in their squad during the January window. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
