West Ham boss David Moyes admits they're feeling the retirement of captain Mark Noble.

Moyes says they'll need players to step up and fill the void this season.

He told the London Evening Standard: “Only since he has left, I can really see it – and feel it.

“The players really respected Mark, the way he controlled things for lots of reasons. He went about his business well, he was in early to train, he was very professional — and he was very much part of that dressing room spirit.

“I think we are missing him but I've asked Declan Rice to be captain and we could do with a couple more big personalities coming forward this year and taking responsibility, as Mark did.
