Emerson Palmieri has said that Said Benrahma is the hardest player to mark during training sessions at West Ham United.

The 27-year-old has been in really impressive form recently, and he always offers the Hammers something that we don’t otherwise possesses what with his creativity, dribbling skills and flair.

In spite of that, David Moyes still seems to find a way to criticise Benrahma whenever he can.

The Scot even found it hard to offer Benny unconditional praise after our win over Bournemouth on Monday when he was the best player on the pitch.

The fans appreciate how good the Algeria international is though, and it seems as though his teammates do as well.

First Jarrod Bowen offered high words of praise for Benrahma on Monday. Then Ben Johnson did the same.

And now another player has got in on the act…

Emerson raves about West Ham teammate Said Benrahma

The Italy international took part in a Q&A session on his official Twitter account this afternoon.

And Emerson responded when asked who is the best player during West Ham training:

Considering just how many West Ham players praise Benrahma, it’s getting to a point where Moyes seemingly has a personal vendetta against him.

Maybe he wasn’t his signing, and it was David Sullivan who brought him to the London Stadium. Even if that’s the case though, it’s no excuse for the treatment that he has received from Moyes.

Said Benrahma is absolutely vital to this West Ham team. And Emerson’s comments today lend even further credence to that notion.
