West Ham United manager David Moyes has named the three players who have improved under him since he returned to the club, as quoted in Football.London.

Moyes has been impressed by the improvement of Michail Antonio, Aaron Cresswell and Angelo Ogbonna.

Antonio is a winger by trade, but under Moyes, the former Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest star has been playing upfront.

According to WhoScored, the 30-year-old has scored five goals and provided three assists in the Premier League so far this season.

Cresswell is the first-choice left-back at the Hammers, while centre-back Ogbonna has established himself as a key player in the team.

Moyes was in charge of West Ham from November 2017 until May 2018 and returned to the London Stadium in December 2019.

The Scotsman told Football.London: “It is, it is a brilliant turnaround for a year I can’t hide that. I just think the players have done so well.

“The improvement in Micky Antonio, the improvement in Aaron Cresswell, the improvement in Angelo Ogbonna in that period those players who were at the club, I am not talking about the ones we have brought in, I am talking about the ones who were here.”
