West Ham United v Wolves: Sky Sports pundit gushes over Lucas Paqueta footage
West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta set up the opener for Mohammed Kudus in the first half against Wolves at the London Stadium on Sunday, 17 December.
Matt Holland, who was on commentary duty on the Premier League world feed, was thrilled by how the Brazil international played the ball into the Ghanaian’s stride.
The summer signing then made no mistake and managed to put the ball into the back of the net.
Holland, a Sky Sports pundit, said (17 December, 14:24): “What about this play from Lucas Paqueta. Absolutely terrific. And then the finish, an absolute arrow. It’s not quite in the corner, but it’s a brilliant counter attack.”
Wow
Paqueta and Kudus have been sensational this term, showcasing their individual brilliance and a seamless partnership that bodes well for the Hammers.
Paqueta has added a touch of Brazilian flair to West Ham’s midfield and left flank these days, exemplified by his exquisite playmaking skills.
His ability to set up goals, as evidenced against Wolves, reflects his vision, precision and creativity on the ball.
Kudus, the Ghanaian dynamo, has consistently demonstrated his attacking prowess and goal-scoring instincts.
His clinical finishes underscore his composure in front of goal and his contribution to the team’s attacking firepower.
The synergy between Paqueta and Kudus is already apparent, with the Brazilian orchestrating plays and the Ghanaian finishing them with aplomb.
Their understanding on the field, particularly in counter-attacking situations, reflects the potential for a dynamic partnership that can unlock opposition defences.
For a side that thrives on transitions and quick breaks, David Moyes may have two perfect players.
