The Italian has not been a regular feature in the West Ham team this season, but when on field, Angelo Ogbonna has done a stellar job. However, what makes it more impressive is that he has managed to be extremely disciplined in his job in the Premier League, FA Cup as well as the League Cup.

Ogbonna is a big presence in the central defense for the Hammers, but the defender is actually quite composed in his job.

He does not dive into tackles and rarely gives away fouls. It is not a wonder then, that he has received just one yellow card from 24 appearances from all competitions this season. Ogbonna is also good when going forward, he has already scored three goals and registered one assist so far.

This season, the Italian is averaging just 0.7 fouls per game in the Premier League, and is the fourth most disciplined defender in the world.
