West Ham splashed over £100m on additions during the summer transfer window but it has been one of their lesser recruits who has regularly caught the eye this season.
Lukasz Fabianski arrived at the London Stadium from relegated Swansea City in a deal reported to be worth only £7m and he has since shone with the Hammers, catching the eye with a number of fine performances.
A sluggish start to the season for the club has now been wiped away following a sequence of four consecutive victories and Fabianski has kept two clean sheets during that period – the most recent of which came in Saturday’s win over Fulham.
Fabianski made a number of fine saves while the game was still goalless and has been heralded for his display on social media, where fans have been raving about how good the Poland international has been for them.
We have gathered some of their comments below.
Bargain of the decade!⚒

The points he’s saved us. If he was David De Gea they’d have done a Sky Sports Special on https://t.co/ZnFlBN0vU5 man
