West Ham United left-back Emerson Palmieri has responded to a question asking him who showboats the most during training sessions.
Emerson Palmieri was been speaking on West Ham‘s Iron Cast Podcast, and discussed a wide range of topics.
The Italy international raved about his teammate Jarrod Bowen, but it was another Hammers star who was the centre of attention when the topic of training sessions arose.
It has been a challenging campaign for West Ham so far, with Julen Lopetegui facing the prospect of being sacked if results don’t improve.
The common theme for us this season has been the lack of form from our very best players.
Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus have been nowhere near their best, whilst the latter has missed our last three games through suspension, and is not set to return to action until December 3rd.
When those three players start firing on all cylinders, I’m sure we’ll be just fine.
Emerson Palmieri on the biggest show-off in West Ham training
The 30-year-old Hammers left-back sat down to speak with West Ham’s official Iron Cast Podcast.
Halfway through, the chat turned to training sessions at Rush Green.
Emerson was asked which West Ham player tries the most tricks during training sessions.
The Italian responded without hesitation.
“Ah Kudus. I would say Lucas as well, but I think Kudus”, the Hammers defender said. “He loves to do new things. One thing is doing it in training, and another thing is doing it in the games, and he does it in the games as well.“
Kudus is clearly a very special player, but it still grates on me that his lack of professionalism against Tottenham back in October meant that we’ve had to make do without him for five games.
The Ghanaian superstar is an immense talent, and on his day he’s clearly unplayable.
However, I still firmly believe that he has another level to reach – he can definitely improve upon his decision making inside the final third for starters.
Emerson Palmieri has highlighted how much of a showboater Kudus is during West Ham training sessions.
And when he returns to action for the Hammers against Leicester City next month, I expect him to make a huge difference for us on the pitch.
