Three players who could replace Lanzini in West Ham’s next starting XI

West Ham United attacker Manuel Lanzini played the entire 90 minutes as the Hammers fell to a 4-1 defeat to Leicester City on Wednesday night.

David Moyes’ side were easily defeated at the King Power Stadium and the manager again used a system which had two strikers, Lanzini being one of them.

Most fans were not happy with his display and feel that he is no longer good enough to play for the club. 

When the team news was announced on Twitter, hundreds of fans voiced their discontent with seeing Lanzini’s name in the starting XI.

This got us thinking, who could be starting in his place? 

The answer, based on his current form, could be anyone in East London, but judging by what Moyes has available to him, we’ve identified three players who could come in.

The Hammers have two home games coming up. First, they host West Brom in the fourth round of the FA Cup before facing Liverpool in the Premier League.
