Moyes on trying to take West Ham to the next level: “I hope we're going to be in a position to attract many players in the future, because of our league position, because we're a club with stature, we're in London, we have a 60,000-plus stadium which will be full every week. I think all those things go in our favour.”

Aaron Cresswell: “We have earned our right to be up there and whether we can maintain it, time will tell. We’ve 11 games to go and some of the matches coming up… Manchester United and Arsenal. We know it’s tough with the teams around us but we have proved we can get results against the big teams. The next two games are massive. If we get six points from them — I know it’s going to be tough — but we are going to be right up there.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Lingard’s form for the Hammers: “It has really worked out for Jesse (Lingard), for David (Moyes) and for us as a club as well. We know Jesse's position is a 10 and we've got Bruno (Fernandes) there. For me, it was a no-brainer to get Jesse a chance to prove himself and play some football again. He has been really bright for them. He's finally back to himself."
