The Hammers goalkeeper was last season’s club player of the year and he’s hit the ground running for Manuel Pellegrini and co this term too.

Premier League and England legend Sol Campbell has spoken highly of West Ham United goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski for his recent performances (Sky Sports News).

The Hammers stopper’s last three games have all yielded clean sheets, Manuel Pellegrini’s side beating Manchester United 2-0 last time out.

Before that, Fabianski shut out Aston Villa for a goalless draw at Villa Park, while the visit of Norwich City to the London Stadium saw West Ham win with two unanswered goals.

West Ham go into today’s Premier League game at Bournemouth sitting fifth in the table and, when it came to picking a goalkeeper for September’s Sky Sports Premier League Team of the Month, there was little question of who was a shoe-in.

“He’s done really well, incredible,” Arsenal legend Campbell told Sky Sports News. “He’s got the fans behind him as well. Last three games, three clean sheets, you can’t better that as a goalkeeper and it gives confidence to the entire team.”

Fabianski enjoyed an incredible debut season at the London Stadium following his summer switch from Swansea City for a reported £7.2million fee last summer (Transfermarkt), and was crowned the Hammer of the Year for his 2018-19 exploits.

The 34-year-old’s career so far in the game has been very fruitful, the custodian turning out in the top flight for Arsenal and Swansea as well as the Hammers, plus a Polish Ekstraklasa medal with Legia Warsaw and 52 appearances for Poland (Transfermarkt).
