West Ham United goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has caught the eye so far this season.

West Ham United deserve far more credit than they have got for the signing of Lukasz Fabianski.

When the top transfers of last summer are discussed, Fabianski is almost always overlooked, but there is no way that the West Ham stopper should be.

West Ham paid just £7 million for Fabianski back in June (BBC Sport), and in exchange they have got one of the very best goalkeepers in the Premier League.

Fabianski has not put a foot wrong since joining West Ham, and his performance last night was exceptional.

The Polish stopper made a series of fine saves to help West Ham pick up a 2-1 victory at St. Mary’s.

Fabianski must now be considered as one of the Hammers’ best players over the first half of the season.

And it is about time that the 33-year-old got more praise from those outside of the London Stadium, as his transfer ranks up there with the very best to happen this summer.
