The West Ham United duo have struck up a wonderful partnership this season.
West Ham ace Manuel Lanzini sat down for an exclusive interview with the club’s official website, and raved about the quality of teammate Marko Arnautovic, labelling the Austrian as a ‘great player’.
The understanding forged between Lanzini and Arnautovic this season has been one of the few positives for the Hammers, in what has been an otherwise bitterly disappointing campaign thus far.
The Austria international moved to the London Stadium from Stoke City in the summer of 2017, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £24 million, but he initially struggled to establish himself in east London.
He has really risen to prominence over the past few months, however, chalking up seven goals and three assists in the Premier League since December.
Lanzini spoke to WHUFC.com, and offered high words of praise for his 28-year-old teammate:
“He’s a great player and we play really well together. The team put responsibility on us to score the goals and help win the matches and that’s exactly what we intend to do.”
The Hammers face a huge clash with Burnley today at the London Stadium this afternoon, and if they are to have any chance whatsoever of beating Sean Dyche’s side, Lanzini and Arnautovic will have to be at their very best once again.
