Harry Redknapp has told West Ham Fan TV that he absolutely loves West Ham United right-back Vladimir Coufal.

Coufal joined West Ham to little fan-fare at the start of last season, and he has settled in at the London Stadium in rapid time.

The Czech Republic international has quickly become a fan favourite at West Ham through his passionate performances.

Coufal is now regarded as one of the most dependable right-backs in the entirety of the Premier League.

And Redknapp admits that he is a big fan of the West Ham player.

“I love the right-back, I think he’s exceptional,” he said.

“What a good player he is. He’s a throw back to the old days. Proper hard, people never get buy him.”

Big summer for Coufal

Coufal’s Czech Republic side have been drawn in the same group as the Three Lions.

Whoever starts for England in that game will already know the difficulties of facing Coufal.

The West Ham man has rarely been beaten by a winger this season, with the Hammers seemingly picking up a real bargain when they brought him in from Slavia Prague for just £5 million (Guardian).
