Ward-Prowse has already admitted that his role has changed since moving to the London Stadium – has has transformed into more of a box-to-box player.

The former Southampton man has surprised many West Ham fans with his incredible technical ability, and it seems as though one Hammer in particular didn’t realise just how good he is either…

The Czech Republic international has been speaking to the Evening Standard about all things West Ham.

And Coufal responded when asked about Moyes’s summer signings:

“I love our signings. We knew what to expect from James Ward-Prowse, but I didn’t expect what he has done so far. He has two goals and three assists — it’s absolutely amazing. I didn’t see him score so much at Southampton.”

It has been great to see Ward-Prowse settle down so quickly at the London Stadium.

With Declan Rice having left to join Arsenal in the summer, it was vital for Moyes to bring in a proven Premier League player to replace him.

The Hammers boss signed Ward-Prowse and Edson Alvarez and it could be argued that we’re far stronger as a team now.

The 28-year-old midfielder is an exceptionally gifted technician and far from a one-trick set-piece pony. The £30 million that West Ham paid for James Ward-Prowse already looks like a huge bargain.

Let’s hope that he keeps producing the goods for the Hammers.
