West Ham United right-back Vladimir Coufal believes captain Declan Rice has saved the Hammers’ season after their late turnaround in the table.
After sixth and seventh placed finishes in the last two Premier League seasons, West Ham have spent much of the last six months languishing in the bottom six of the table. Sunday’s 3-1 win over Leeds United has taken them up to 14th, only the second time they have been above 15th since the end of October.
However, it could still be a season to remember for the Hammers, who are in the final of the Europa Conference League against Fiorentina in Prague next month.
