Fantastic Lanzini reaps his reward

|

Mark Noble could not be more pleased that Manu Lanzini is back in the international frame for Argentina.

The brilliant midfielder has been called up by his country for their upcoming games and that it should happen just two games into his Hammers return shows the impact the guy has made since his return.

It’s an astonishing  achievement which could easily have been topped with a goal or two but his control of the Hammers midfield has surely shot hi into such prominence.

It’s been a very long time since the Hammers have enjoyed the presence of two top class operators in that area of the pitch but he and Declan Rice give Manuel Lanzini something really special

Captain Noble can’t contain his excitement at Lanzini’s return (like the rest of us) and can’t speak hughly enough of the impression Manu has made during his comeback after a totally devastating injury and eight month lay-off..

Speaking of his selection for the Argentine squad to www.whufc.com he said: “It’s fantastic and he deserves it and all because he’s been fantastic since he came back.

“It’s always nice to get recognition when you’ve played well and he has played well.

“Manu has been playing in the Premier League, which is the toughest league in the world, and if he is playing like he is here, he deserves it.
