Jack Collison has taken to Twitter to reveal that he absolutely loves one West Ham player, following the 2-2 draw against Brighton.

The West Ham academy graduate, who made 121 appearances for the Hammers, tweeted about his admiration for Tomas Soucek.

The Czech Republic international earned a point for the Irons with his 82nd minute header, which was his fourth Premier League goal of the season.

You can see what Collison tweeted below.

In truth, it must be hard for any West Ham supporter to think anything different about Soucek – he has been excellent ever since his January arrival.

Against the Seagulls, the 25-year-old delivered an all-round brilliant performance, even if you were to disregard his goal.

WhoScored shows that Soucek won a huge eight aerial duels, and also had three shots – more than any other West Ham player managed.

The former Slavia Prague man – who earns £67,308-a-week in east London – also registered two tackles, two interceptions and one clearance.

On that basis, it’s no surprise that Collison absolutely loves the towering midfield maestro, who is in fantastic form right now.

West Ham’s No.28 now has three goals in his last five Premier League outings, having netted against Manchester United and Leeds in recent weeks as well.
