Moyes already impressed by West Ham signing, thinks he’ll be great

It was a frustrating day at the office for West Ham United against Chelsea.

A 2-1 defeat to their London rivals was overshadowed by a controversial VAR call.

Maxwel Cornet’s goal was disallowed after a soft foul on Edouard Mendy.

Michail Antonio puts the Hammers in front, before Ben Chilwell and Kai Havertz secured three points for Chelsea.

Speaking after the game, Moyes highlighted that he was already impressed by Lucas Paqueta.

The Scottish manager said: “I think from what I’ve seen already he’s a really good player.

“He’ll bring us other things to the game, and I hope that he’ll be a good addition for us.

Moyes already impressed by Paqueta

Paqueta was a late addition to the West Ham squad this summer, signing for a club-record £51m from Lyon.

The Brazilian international came on as a sub against Tottenham, before making his full debut against Chelsea.

Paqueta played 83 minutes against the Blues, and had a great game playing behind Michail Antonio.

The 24-year-old only misplaced four passes, and won more than half of his ground duels.

Moyes has already been impressed by Paqueta’s impact at West Ham, and he’s not alone.

Moyes brought Paqueta off with minutes to go in the game for Angelo Ogbonna.

The plan was to see out the match and provide more defensive stability, but the Hammers couldn’t hold on.

The Brazilian will be disappointed he couldn’t affect the result in the final minutes, but Moyes is set to give him plenty of chances.
