Kouyate's midfield masterclass

Cheikhou Kouyate reveals the secrets behind the making of a top Premier League midfielder
Senegal international Cheikhou Kouyate reveals to West Ham TV the secrets behind the making of a top Premier League midfielder in our latest masterclass episode!

The 26-year-old has played 28 times for the Hammers in the Premier League so far this campaign, missing just four fixtures.

It's easy to see why Kouyate is so important to the east London club and is rated one of the best midfielders in the top flight.

The former Anderlecht man works tirelessly in the middle of the park for Slaven Bilic's side and gets from box-to-box in an instant.

Kouyate did, however, admit to West Ham TV that sometimes he needs to be reminded to stay and guard the back four while he wants to get himself on the scoresheet!
