Mark Noble has been speaking on That Peter Crouch Podcast about all things West Ham, and also shared some truths about his teammates.
Specifically, the 34-year-old spoke about Vladimír Coufal, and waxed lyrical about the right-back’s love for football.
Noble said: “Coufal is a machine, he loves football.”
Continuing to speak about West Ham’s No.5, Noble revealed that he sent a photo of the £5.4 million man at a bus stop to his mates.
The Irons captain thought it was ‘mad’ to see his £30,769-a-week teammate at a public bus stop, when he could’ve easily afforded a more luxurious mode of transport.
Noble said: “I sent a picture to one of my mates of Coufal sitting at a bus stop waiting for the 86. It’s mad.”
If Coufal continues to play the way he has been doing, he can take any mode of transport he likes – in fact, he’ll probably have the freedom of east London soon.
The Czech Republic international has been utterly superb since his arrival from Slavia Prague back in October.
Impressively, Coufal has recorded six assists in 31 Premier League appearances this season.
That is more than Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andy Robertson, Phil Foden, Sadio Mané and many more big names have registered this term.
For just £5.4 million, he is arguably the signing of the season.
West Ham were in desperate need of a right-back, and they’ve found one on the cheap who has already become one of England’s best.
