The 23-year-old came off the bench against Manchester City and Liverpool, but this was his first start in claret and blue, and his well-taken goal has made a lasting impression.
His comment after the game, which was published by West Ham’s official channels, has further enthused fans.
He showed that clinical mindset with his goal, as shooting was the only thing on his mind when he touched Pablo Fornals’ pass out of his feet with his right foot, before dinking it away from Alex McCarthy’s reach with his left.
One fan has claimed that “he reminds me of Robbie Fowler”, while another said that he has a “superb attitude” after seeing the comment.

The hope is that he will be able to maintain that same prolificacy and mindset during his time at London Stadium.
There is also the feeling that this willingness to get shots off “is exactly what we’ve needed” in the club’s effort to get up the table.
Before joining the Hammers, Bowen scored 16 goals in 29 Championship games this season, highlighting the dividends his attitude and ability have paid out.
West Ham’s top scorer this season is Sebastien Haller with seven, but he did go six games without a goal before the Southampton match, so fans will be hoping Bowen can help him out regularly.
Meanwhile, a West Ham fan favourite has been receiving plenty of love.
