West Ham United manager David Moyes has hailed Lucas Paqueta's impact on the team.
The Brazilian has been instrumental to the recent resurgence by the Hammers in various competitions.
A 3-0 win over Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday showed their credentials to fight for a European place.
"That is what Lucas Paqueta can do for us," Moyes said post-game.
I'm pulling my hair out half time and the other part of it I'm celebrating because he can make passes that other people can't see and don't make.
He's a special player. I've not had huge amounts of special players with that individual talent. So, there's a little bit of leeway we have to give him - and I'm not someone who likes giving too much leeway to any of my players.
I like to treat them all fairly but as I've got a bit older I've realised that when you have that talent, you have to let them flourish. But I have to say as well, his work-rate for the team over recent months has been excellent."
