# Tony Cascarino raves about West Ham ‘unsung hero’ Aaron Cresswell

Former Premier League striker Tony Cascarino has been raving about [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/11/20/mark-lawrenson-backs-almost-perfect-west-ham-for-epl-victory/)full-back Aaron Cresswell.

Despite defeat against Wolves at Molineux, the Hammers remained in the [top four](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) and David Myes’ side can be delighted with their start to the season.

Awash with strong performers across the squad, names such as [Michail Antonio, Pablo Fornals and Declan Rice](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/sep/16/dinamo-zagreb-west-ham-europa-league-match-report) often get the headlines.

Speaking on [talkSPORT Breakfast (Saturday 20 November 7:30am)](https://talksport.com/radio/listen-again/1637388000/1637393400/), Cascarino singled out Cresswell for praise.

> Talk about unsung heroes, I think Cresswell has been brilliant for them at left-back this year. I thought as he gets older his place would be in jeopardy – it’s not.

So far this season the 31-year-old has earned a superb [7.18 average Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/aaron-cresswell/43443) from 12 Premier League outings – including a [West Ham high 7.40](https://www.sofascore.com/west-ham-united-wolverhampton/dsM) against Wolves.

Signed from Ipswich Town in 2015, Cresswell has [scored nine and provided 31 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aaron-cresswell/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/92571) in 268 appearances for the club.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Spot on.

Every so often a pundit recognises the excellence and [longevity](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aaron-cresswell/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/92571) of the experienced Iron.

Now valued at £4.5million and under contract at the London Stadium until 2023 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aaron-cresswell/marktwertverlauf/spieler/92571)), at present there are no signs of the Liverpudlian dropping off.
