West Ham boss David Moyes has admitted that he’s still not sure how to correctly use new signing Maxwel Cornet.
The Hammers brought Cornet to the London Stadium from Burnley for around £17.5 million in the summer transfer window.

The 25-year-old has already insisted that his preference is to play in an attacking role.
As things stand, Moyes has been slowly easing Cornet into action at the London Stadium.
The Scot has utilised the Ivory Coast international as both a left and right winger and we have to say, we’ve been really impressed with him so far.
At Burnley, he was mostly used as an attacker and Lancs Live described him as ‘sensational’.
But where does Moyes think Cornet should be playing, in order to get the best out of him?

The Hammers manager addressed the media yesterday ahead of our clash with Everton at Goodison Park this afternoon.
And Moyes highlighted how he’s still unsure how to use Cornet in the most efficient way, as quoted by Football.London:
“He has actually got a couple of assists in the last few games and he has started to make a contribution already. I think it is probably his lateness back into pre-season and it is getting him back into condition really. I don’t mean that he was badly out of condition, it was just more that he wasn’t match ready in terms of minutes. But I think we are still finding out as well, looking at how we can best use him.”
Personally, I think it’s very clear to see that Cornet is at his best when playing in an attacking role.
Either wide left or wide right should be where David Moyes uses him for West Ham.
Cornet has pace in abundance, and is extremely direct in the way that he plays.
We believe that the 25-year-old has done enough to start against Everton this afternoon. Hopefully Moyes gives him the nod and he breaks his goalscoring duck for West Ham.
