The next Irons skipper
Aaron Cresswell looks likely to become the next West Ham skipper following the departure of Declan Rice this summer.
Sadly, following the current skipper’s departure it is quite difficult to see a natural leader on the pitch where he has been so influential following Mark Noble,
But after Mark Noble and Declan it really is hard to see a player who fits the mould that has been left behind by those two.
Only Cress and Jarrod Bowen look likely if we are going to maintain the tradition but the left back hasn’t always shown the right sort of form and Jarrod doesn’t look to be in a position from which to lead.
Michail Antonio looks set to be on his way and at this point Danny Ings would be a non starter. So if we are going to look outside of those then one of the two central defenders – Aguerd or Zouma looks likely.
For me? Cress with Zouma as back up!
