Harry Redknapp has listed on West Ham United’s official website the four players in the current squad whom he rates highly.

The former West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur manager has spoken highly of Manuel Lanzini, Mark Noble, Jose Fonte and Robert Snodgrass.

“I like Manuel Lanzini, he is a playmaker in the true West Ham style and can do everything – pass, dribble, score goals,” Redknapp told West Ham’s official website.

“Mark Noble is someone who doesn’t get the credit he deserves for the influence he has – he’s a leader, a great character who drives others around him and keeps the team spirit together.

“The two new boys are also good signings. I’ve followed Fonte since he was playing for Southampton in League One and he is a top player, a true pro and a solid character.

“And Snodgrass is similar, a great character with a lot of ability and a great left foot. No disrespect to Hull, but I always felt he deserved to be at a bigger club.”

Manuel Lanzini

Lanzini, who initially joined West Ham on loan from Al Jazira Club, is playing well for the Hammers this season.

The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has scored six goals and created 28 chances in 24 Premier League appearances for the London outfit so far this campaign.

Mark Noble

Noble has been at West Ham his entire professional career so far and is a very consistent player.

The 29-year-old midfielder has scored three goals and created 23 chances in 25 league matches for the Hammers so far this season.

Jose Fonte

Fonte joined West Ham from Premier League rivals Southampton in the January transfer window.

The 33-year-old centre-back is one of the best players in England, and he will prove to be a very good signing for the Hammers in the long run.

Robert Snodgrass

Snodgrass moved to West Ham from Premier League rivals Hull City in the January transfer window.

The 29-year-old former Leeds United and Norwich City winger has created nine chances in five league matches for Slaven Bilic’s side.
