Pellegrini Lavishes Praise On West Ham Star Who He Rates In The Top “Two or Three” In The League

West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini thinks Lukasz Fabianski is deserving of all the praise he gets for his performances in a Hammers shirt.

The Polish international joined from Swansea for £7m last summer and was awarded the club’s player of the year in his first season at the club. Pellegrini says he can’t speak highly enough about the goalkeeper:

“I think last season he was one of the two or three best goalkeepers in the league. I hope, at the end of this season, we can say exactly the same for him, because the way he works, he deserves it.”

Fabianski has a shot/save percentage of 74.1% this campaign. If you compare that to last season, when he had a 73% shot/save ratio, you can see clearly that the 34-year-old is continuing his excellent form.



The shot-stopper will likely have a few saves to make this afternoon when the Hammers travel to the South Coast for a difficult encounter against Bournemouth.

West Ham lost 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium last season, and they will be hoping for an improved result as they look to keep up their good start in the league this campaign.
