West Ham star Manuel Lanzini survivescar crash

“It’s a miracle he’s alive, from what I’ve heard,” a source told The Sun.“This was an incredibly near miss and could have killed Lanzini and the driver. It’s common for West Ham players to use a chauffeur service – especially for those who live in town.

“They were on a dual carriageway so it could have caused complete carnage. Just goes to show, it doesn’t matter how much cash you have – we’re all just as vulnerable to a smash like this.”

Lanzini was heading to his first team practice after the international break, in which he was an unused substitute in both of Argentina‘s games against Venezuela and Ecuador, respectively. West Ham are set to face Everton on Sunday on Matchday 31 of the 2021-22 Premier League.
