Mexican Midfielder Edson Álvarez Impresses in Premier League Debut for West Ham

Just last weekend, the Mexican Edson Álvarez appeared in the Premier League, who became one of West Ham’s star signings for the 2023-24 campaign, and is already leaving good impressions among analysts, being one of they Anton Ferdinand, who will spend nine seasons in the British first division.

Edson’s performance in West Ham’s 3-1 win over Chelsea earned him praise from Rio Ferdinand’s brother, who curiously made his Hammers debut early in his career. “It’s almost like he’s been told what it takes to be a West Ham player and play in front of his fans,” he told the YouTube channel FIVE.

“What we saw in that appearance he made at the weekend was someone who runs first and plays second. In recent years the signings that we have had have not understood it. While it’s almost like this guy understands, he’s been told that to get love at West Ham, this is what you have to do,” he added.

Edson Omar Álvarez Velázquez joined West Ham after spending four years with Ajax Amsterdam in the Eredivisie, from where he caught the attention of the English team to bring him to their ranks to take the place of Declan Rice, their former star in midfield who he left for Arsenal in one of the most expensive moves in island football.

The DT also praised him

For his part, David Moyes, West Ham coach, highlighted the contribution of his new pupils, Edson Álvarez and James Ward Prowse, who were active against Chelsea.

“The new signings have improved the mood within the club over the past week. They also brought many different qualities. Of course, we can’t fully judge them yet: they have mainly trained and with Édson we are talking about 20 minutes of play. But you can see there’s enthusiasm for them,” he said.
