Just a few weeks ago, West Ham had yet to make any new signings, and now, after three games, they find themselves at the top of the Premier League with some impressive additions to their squad.
The new players who have already featured in matches seem to have seamlessly integrated into the team. Edson Alvarez remains a constant presence just ahead of the defensive line, and James Ward-Prowse's exceptional spatial awareness and ability to find his teammates have been a delight to watch.
The Englishman's recent assist on Friday night underscores the wisdom of David Moyes' insistence on signing him.
In fact, he has adapted so seamlessly that a BBC journalist Steve Brown has suggested that the midfielder might just be one of the standout signings of the summer.
“I think Ward-Prowse is a brilliant signing,” Brown has told BBC Sport’s The Far Post podcast.
“For set-pieces, alone, he is a great signing, and he’s a wonderful football player, as well.”
