West Ham's Crysensio Summerville says "top manager" Nuno Espirito Santo's "straightforward" coaching has helped him find his top form.

The 24-year-old only scored one goal in an injury-hit first season at the club after moving from Leeds in the summer of 2024 but has scored six goals in his last eight games in all competitions and is thriving under Nuno's tutelage.
"Obviously you have to come to to your full fitness first," he told BBC Sport's Betty Glover.
"You need to get used to the game, to the intensity as well. I think the people, my teammates, the physios, everyone helped me a lot to get there. I know if I get the best version of myself, I'm unplayable. I hope I can be consistent about it.
"I think the coach is a top manager and top person as well. When he first joined I had a lot of conversations with him and he's just straightforward. He asked me how he can get me on top of my game and get me even higher on the levels, how he can help me improve my game statistics as well. I think when we work he gets something out of me."
The Hammers are on a run of three wins and two draws in their last six games and are just two points from safety despite being seven points adrift in early January.
"I think we improved a lot from like how it was in the start of the season and hopefully we can keep this going," Summerville added.
"We know where we are and we know that we have to fight and it's until the last game we to do this for the fans as well, because I think we belong in the Premier League.
"We know how it's going to be, it's going to be a fight. We know that we don't belong here like where we're at. So it's going to be a fight until the end. I think we improved a lot from what it was at the start. I think we have to take all the positives from the last couple of games, and now we see it game by game.
"Every game for us is a final, and I think that needs to be the mentality."
