This is the West Ham XI that can secure a European spot this season

Sofiane Feghouli

Sofiane Feghouli was outstanding against West Brom last weekend, netting once and laying on an assist in a game where he was harshly denied another goal.

The 27-year-old moved to West Ham last summer after six years at La Liga outfit Valencia, but has struggled for regular football at the London Stadium, starting just six times in the Premier League, and appearing as a substitute on only eight other occasions.

However, seven successive starts in all competitions since the turn of the year suggests that he is now a key member of the first team, and with two goals and an assist in that time, it’s clear to see why.

Whether he plays as a right midfielder or a right wing-back, Feghouli’s directness and desire to take defenders is hugely beneficial to West Ham, and will be for the rest of the campaign.
