West Ham midfielder Manuel Lanzini appears to be back to his best. He has recently signed a new long-term contract with the Hammers and he is dazzling with his midfield performances.
One statistic proves exactly how valuable he has been for West Ham this season. As per the Premier League’s official statistics, only one player has created more chances in the league this season.
Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne has completed 16 key passes. Lanzini, with 14 key passes, is second in this list. This shows that he has the ability to be one of the Premier League’s leading playmakers.
Manuel Lanzini can unlock Sebastien Haller’s full potential
In-form Lanzini is the spark that West Ham lacked for most of last season. The Argentina midfielder can create chances out of nothing and he could be ideal for Manuel Pellegrini’s plan.
Sebastien Haller is West Ham’s new record signing and he already has three goals in three games. The Frenchman is showing all the signs of being a complete centre-forward.
Lanzini and Haller could form a devastating partnership. With Lanzini’s creativity in midfield and Haller’s clever positioning, this could be a combination that produces many goals for West Ham. The future looks exciting with these two fit and firing.
