West Ham United winger Robert Snodgrass is suddenly a man in form.
Pundit Jamie Redknapp has told the Daily Mail that he has been impressed with the attitude of West Ham United wide man Robert Snodgrass.
The Hammers beat Crystal Palace 3-2 on Saturday afternoon, with Snodgrass on the scoresheet alongside Javier Hernandez and Felipe Anderson.
It’s now three wins in a row for West Ham, and nine goals scored in that run as Manuel Pellegrini’s side show real promise going forward – even with Marko Arnautovic for the last game and a half.
Brazilian talent Anderson is earning huge plaudits, but winger Snodgrass is deservedly picking up praise too having been a real surprise package of late.
The 31-year-old was brought in by Slaven Bilic in January 2017, but spent last season out on loan at Aston Villa in the Championship having failed to impress since a move from Hull City.
Snodgrass returned this past summer and few expected him to still be a Hammers player come the end of the transfer window; now though, he’s a key player.
Snodgrass has really stepped up in Andriy Yarmolenko’s absence, and a goal and three assists in his last three sum up the great form he is in.
Now, pundit Redknapp has admitted that he has been impressed with the attitude shown by Snodgrass, praising him for ‘knuckling down’ to impress Pellegrini and force his way into the West Ham side.
“I’ve been impressed by Robert Snodgrass’s attitude since he returned to West Ham from his loan at Aston Villa, knuckling down in pre-season and forcing his way into the side,” said Redknapp. “His curling drive against Crystal Palace was superb but he is pipped to a place in my team of the week by team-mate Felipe Anderson,” he added.
