Jamie Redknapp compared West Ham star Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah during the 5-2 loss to Arsenal.
The former Manchester United man finished off a nice move with a great finish that Gunners keeper David Raya had no chance of saving.
It was the 30-year-old’s second goal in two games after he scored the second goal in the 2-0 victory against Newcastle on Monday (25 November).
Redknapp was impressed by the right-back’s recent exploits, jokingly comparing him to Liverpool superstar Salah, saying live on Sky Sports [30 November]: “That’s a great ball, perfect timing.
He’s turned into Wan-Bi Salah, not Wan-Bissaka, two-in-two now, he finishes that really well.”

The right-back is doing his best to keep the Spaniard in the dugout. He is the Hammers’ joint-fourth highest contributor of goals in the Premier League, behind Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta and Tomas Soucek.
The club might have a chance to improve their standing in the league, which is currently 14th, in the coming weeks with matches against Leicester, Wolves, Bournemouth, Brighton and Southampton.
If Wan-Bissaka continues his goalscoring run then he might just save his manager’s job.
