West Ham centre-backs Dinos Mavropanos and Axel Disasi have formed an excellent partnership recently.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hammers have conceded just four goals in their last six games, including clean sheets against Fulham, Wolves and Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

\n

If West Ham are to avoid relegation from the Premier League this season, the defensive duo will be a key reason why.<\/p>\n

Mavropanos has now opened up on what January signing Disasi is really like as a leader in the dressing room.<\/p>\n

Dinos Mavropanos reveals Axel Disasi influence at West Ham<\/h2>\n

Mavropanos and Disasi have emerged as Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s first-choice centre-backs in the second half of the season.<\/p>\n

They have pulled away from Jean-Clair Todibo and Max Kilman in the pecking order and are likely to start every remaining game.<\/p>\n

Many even believe Disasi is responsible for Mavropanos turning his West Ham career around after a difficult 18 months.<\/p>\n

Mavropanos recently explained what the Chelsea loanee is really like and how he inspires his teammates to play better.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not one of those players who\u2019s going to scream, but his presence shows what he brings to the team,\u201d he said on the Iron Cast Podcast.<\/p>\n

TRUE or FALSE? Dinos Mavropanos has been West Ham\u2019s BEST player in 2026 \ud83d\udd25<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\u201cSome players speak more and give more energy to the dressing room. For me, I\u2019m a quiet player, but I like to show my effort and character on the pitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Axel is in between; his presence and the ways he talks to others is great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Disasi certainly appears to have struck a balance between vocal leadership and leading by example at West Ham.<\/p>\n

He has made an immediate impact at the London Stadium and could be the main reason the Hammers stay up.<\/p>\n

West Ham will be desperate to sign Disasi permanently and pair him with Mavropanos in the backline for years to come.<\/p>\n
