West Ham’s New Signings Provide a Boost for the Team
After selling Declan Rice to Arsenal for around 120 million euros, one of the best midfielders in the Premier League last season, West Ham had high expectations on how they would fill the void left by his departure.
To replace Rice, the Hammers acquired two midfielders: Edson Alvarez and James Ward-Prowse.
Both players arrived in time for the second matchday, and manager David Moyes chose to start Ward-Prowse, who has 11 seasons of experience in the English league. In the 3-1 victory over Chelsea, Moyes substituted Prowse in the 80th minute to give the Mexican midfielder his debut.
“I believe that the two new signings give us a great boost on the field. They bring different qualities, but we can’t judge them yet, we can only talk about training. We can certainly talk about 20 minutes for Edson and the best part of 70-80 minutes for Ward-Prowse, who we all know,” said Moyes in a press conference.
“There has been a lot of excitement. The result was incredible for us, winning against Chelsea, which is what we expected. We are in good condition and have the opportunity to see if we can defeat Brighton,” added the Scottish coach.
West Ham, who have accumulated four out of six points, will face league leaders Brighton this Saturday. Brighton, like several other teams, has six points, but they have the best goal difference (+6) thanks to their 4-1 victories over both Wolverhampton and Luton.
