David Moyes names West Ham pair he wants more goals from

West Ham boss David Moyes has challenged Michail Antonio and Tomas Soucek to score more goals. 

Striker Antonio has not found the net since New Year’s Day while Soucek, who struck 10 goals from midfield last season, is stuck on just three this term. However, with the likes of Jarrod Bowen, Declan Rice and even defender Craig Dawson chipping in, Moyes insists he is not concerned about where the goals come from.

“I would like more players to score more goals – but we’re only behind Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea in goals scored this year,” said the Scot.

“Individual players, I’d like to see score more goals. We’d like Michail and Tomas to get more goals. But goals as a team, I think we’re doing OK in that department.”

West Ham currently find themselves in a five-team mini-league battling for fourth place along with Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Sunday’s opponents, Wolves.

The Hammers have slipped to sixth having taken just five points from their last five matches, and will slip below Wanderers if they are beaten at the London Stadium.

But Moyes added: “It is really tough and difficult because you can see the standard of the teams who are very strong. From that point of view you have to play well.

“We are pleased to be competing, we are unbeaten in four matches and we will take that.
