The youngster has starred in West Ham’s last two games.
Speaking to the club’s official website, West Ham United defender Angelo Ogbonna has praised youngster Edimilson Fernandes
The midfielder joined the Hammers in the summer transfer window in a move from FC Sion.
He has had to wait for his chance in the first team but has now featured in their last two games, scoring the second goal in the 2-1 win over Chelsea in the EFL Cup in midweek.
His displays have earned rave reviews from fans and pundits alike, who have been impressed by the youngster.
And it seems his teammates are equally impressed, with Ogbonna saying they are all proud of how humble he has been.
“I want to say a special word about Edimilson Fernandes who has made such a big impact in his first two games,” he told the club’s official website.
“He has time to improve and get even better. We don’t need to put too much pressure on him and it is good for him to get this experience because he has a big quality.
“We are really proud of him, not just because he is young but because he is so humble.”
Fernandes will now be hoping he can keep his place in the West Ham line-up in the coming weeks.
He has certainly justified Slaven Bilic’s faith and given that the Hammers have won both the games he has featured in, it seems unlikely he will change his line-up anytime soon.
Another impressive display when they take on Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday and he could be in the team for some time to come.
