West Ham boss Moyes: Kehrer already a leader here

West Ham boss David Moyes is delighted with the early impact of Thilo Kehrer.

Kehrer, a summer addition from PSG, has become a first-team regular immediately.

Despite conceding a penalty and scoring an unfortunate own-goal in two home appearances so far, the German has made an encouraging start to life at the London Stadium, with Moyes revealing he is already emerging as a dressing room leader.

“Amazingly, I already see Thilo Kehrer stepping up in the dressing room, big personality, big voice," Moyes said. “I said about players taking time to adapt, and it may sound like a manager's excuse, but I actually think he has adapted really well.

“He has had a couple of moments but you would have to say he has come in and played well and showed in the dressing room he has a voice and trying to help the players."
