Despite being out for at least another month through injury, Arthur Masuaku is buzzing about West Ham United’s form – even if it is making him worry about his own future.
Villa boss absolutely raves about Moyes and West Ham, namechecks almost entire team
Masuaku was one of the unexpected stars for West Ham as David Moyes implemented a wingback system earlier this season.
Many West Ham fans feared the worst when the pacy star went under the knife for a knee operation that will keep him out until March.
West Ham go from strength to strength with superb Villa win
But the Hammers have gone from strength to strength.
Wednesday night’s 3-1 win over a strong Aston Villa side consolidated West Ham in fifth place in the Premier League table after 22 games.
And Moyes’s side are just two points off fourth-placed Liverpool.
Masuaku has been watching on as he continues his recovery, often congratulating his teammates on Twitter.
He was so impressed by what he witnessed against Villa that he is now worried for his own future in the team.
The Congo international also quipped that West Ham ‘look like future Champions League winners’.
Fan favourite Masuaku is so impressed he’s worried about his own future
“Do I still fit in though?,” Masuaku asked when a fan stated West Ham will win the league when he returns from injury.
“We look like freakin future Champions League winners at the moment and I just love to see it.”
So do we Arthur. So do we.
Masuaku may be talking slightly tongue in cheek. But it does raise the question about what Moyes will do when he does return.
Masuaku comments may be tongue-in-cheek but Moyes will have selection headache when he returns
The Scot will have something of a selection dilemma when he has everyone fit.
West Ham now look very comfortable with a back four. And Aaron Cresswell has rediscovered his best form.
Said Benrahma is making the left wing forward position his own.
And the likes of Pablo Fornals and Jesse Lingard can play out there too if needed.
It is great to have options, though. And the team spirit at West Ham right now means players are rooting for one another even when they are not in the side themselves.
