Manuel Lanzini: West Ham’s Jonathan Calleri is a great player

West Ham United midfielder, Manuel Lanzini, has hailed his club teammate and compatriot, Jonathan Calleri, as a ‘great’ player.

The 23-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea, but he joined West Ham on a season-long loan from Deportivo Maldonado instead. The Argentine international has struggled for regular games this season, and is yet to start a Premier League game. All his nine appearances in the league have come from the bench.

On the other hand, Lanzini has been a huge success for West Ham. Last season, he scored six goals, and this term he has netted five already.
