Aaron Cresswell has hailed the form of West Ham teammate Andy Carroll.

The Geordie again impressed in victory at Southampton on Saturday.

Cresswell told whufc.com: “I saw an impressive stat the other day saying he has scored 20 goals in his last 33 starts and I think any team in the Premier League would take that goals to games ratio.

“Andy has got four in four and hopefully he can continue this great run of form."

He continued: “I have seen a change and his performances have been fantastic.

“He has been unlucky with injuries but we all hope he can stay fully fit now and get as many goals as he can for us.

“He is going into every game believing he can score and for any striker it is all about confidence. When you have that mindset that no-one is going to stop you it can only bring the best out of him.

“It is fantastic to see Andy when he has that belief and I really hope he can continue this."
