Speaking to the official West Ham United Football Club website, David Sullivan was full of praise for summer signing Manuel Lanzini.
The Argentine, who scored at the weekend to give the Hammers a late lead at Selhurst Park, has been a huge hit with the fans and will be looking to continue this fine form throughout the Premier League campaign.
He has been instrumental in the top notch performances we have seen from the Irons this season, most notably tearing Dejan Lovren apart and scoring after just three minutes against Liverpool earlier in the year at Anfield.
David Sullivan has compared the 23-year-old to Real Madrid and Croatian international midfielder Luka Modric, who enjoyed Premier League football himself before swapping Tottenham Hotspur for the Spanish capital.
“I am sure the supporters would have been impressed once again by the performance from Manuel Lanzini against Palace.”
In addition to his two domestic goals, Lanzini also scored during the UEFA Europa League qualification campaign, as well as recording two assists already this season.
“We see him more as a Luka Modric who scores goals. He is improving with every game as he becomes match fit. He could turn out to be very special.”
West Ham United face Chelsea in the English top tier next, where they will be without fellow impressive loan signing Victor Moses as he is ineligible to play against his former club.
