Vladimir Coufal says West Ham new boy James Ward-Prowse reminds him of legendary Italian star Andrea Pirlo and Lyon icon Juninho

Vladimir Coufal said West Ham new boy James Ward-Prowse reminds him of legendary midfielders Juninho and Andre Pirlo.

Ward-Prowse has made an incredible start to life at West Ham with a goal and three assists in his first three appearances since his £30million move from Southampton.

The 28-year-old set up his side’s second goal in their win at Luton on Friday night with a trademark pinpoint corner finding the head of Kurt Zouma.

‘I don’t have to say how good he is, everybody in the Premier League and the UK and maybe all over the world knows who James Ward-Prowse is, from his free-kicks and corners,’ said Coufal.
