West Ham have endured a mixed season, but some players have certainly shone throughout.

West Ham may have endured a somewhat mixed season, but Slaven Bilic’s men are currently in the top half of the Premier League so there is undoubtedly plenty of positives to come out of the campaign thus far.

With that in mind, here are five Hammers stars who can be pleased with the form they have shown this term…

Michail Antonio

When West Ham were going through their torrid start to the season, it was largely the form of Michail Antonio that gave them some momentum. He has scored eight times to lead the club’s goalscoring charts.

Winston Reid has continued to be a stalwart of the Hammers’ side this season. His leadership remains hugely important to Slaven Bilic’s side and it is difficult to make a case to suggest that any other player in the squad is as reliable.

Pedro Obiang

After a promising first year with the Irons, Pedro Obiang has arguably taken his game to another level this season. The stability he provides just sitting in front of the defence has been incredibly important.

Cheikhou Kouyate

Although he predominantly played in midfield last season, Cheikhou Kouyate has demonstrated his versatility this term, playing across the defence. He has looked strong at centre-back and has arguably been the side’s most impressive right-back.

Andy Carroll

Andy Carroll has arguably assumed the role of West Ham’s talisman following Dimitri Payet’s departure in January. He has scored six times in just 12 games, including a goal of the season contender against Crystal Palace.
