Maxwel Cornet’s short stint at Southampton ended in January and after returning to West Ham he joined Genoa on a loan deal.

The winger, who hasn’t managed to gain prominence at the London club since his arrival, has had a very good start to life in Italy.

He’s played three games in Serie A and after assisting on his debut against Monza, he scored against Venezia at the weekend.

Alfredo Pedulla has now hailed the arrival from West Ham, describing him as a ‘player who can make a difference’, despite his failure to make a mark at his parent club and at Southampton.

The report praises Cornet’s versatility as he can play on the left and on the right, describing him as a ‘jack of all trades’ on the pitch.

There are also positive words for the deal that Genoa have executed, with the Rossoblu praised for their ‘far-sighted vision’ in the winter transfer window. There’s a belief that Cornet can help the Italian side push for a higher finish this season.

Things are off to a good start for the Frenchman but it remains to be seen how things pan out later in the season, with West Ham almost certainly hoping for a permanent transfer at the end of it all.
