West Ham United defender Ben Johnson is full of praise for Manchester United loanee Jesse Lingard.
Lingard joined the Hammers on loan at the start of the month and has hit the ground running, netting twice on his debut against Aston Villa and starting a draw against Fulham and a 3-0 win over Sheffield United.
Johnson has been impressed by what he's seen, telling the club website:
“You can see that Jesse has played at the top level – he's played at the World Cup, he's won the Europa League and other trophies. You can see the quality he brings to the side, just with his cleverness.
"He knows what he's going to do before he gets the ball, so to play with him and give him the ball and be confident he's going to do something with it is really nice. To have him here, and to see how he's bounced back from not playing and having people doubt him is fantastic. You know he's going to keep going and keep improving."
