West Ham star praises young teammates.
West Ham youngster Declan Rice has won rave reviews for his performances this season.
Teammate Angelo Ogbonna has sought to praise two other players who he feels deserve the limelight.
Ogbonna picked out teenager Grady Diangana, and summer signing Issa Diop.
The Italian told West Ham’s official website: “When I talk about Dec I want to talk about the other young players too.
“Grady has played well with a lot of pressure, Diop has been fantastic and they are still so humble all the time. It’s very good for the club.
“For me, they all make it easy [for themselves] because they understand and listen.”
West Ham paid a lot of money for Diop in the summer to bring him in from Toulouse, paying a club record £22 million.
Despite the fee, as Ogbonna notes, it’s important to take into account that Diop only turned 22 this January
He had his shaky moments against Huddersfield at the weekend, but as Ogbonna observes, it’s important to bear in mind his age.
