Maxwel Cornet, a West Ham star, was photographed eluding a large dog outside the Hammers’ training facility, which had supporters in fits of laughter.
Cornet signed a five-year contract with the Hammers last summer, and since moving to London, his speed has been tested in a way he would have anticipated.
The large dog, named Shadow, was seen darting near Cornet while Declan Rice and his companions stood around and chatted.
Before the dog developed an affection for him, the winger can be seen nervously maintaining his distance.

The video was posted on Thilo Kehrer’s Instagram and has since gone viral, with some admirers worried for Cornet’s safety and others in awe of his lightning-quick speed.
The video was posted with the caption “Are you okay bro? @cornetmaxwel,” along with a laughing emoji, by West Ham defender Kehrer.

Fortunately for David Moyes, his wide man dashed for the door and made a lucky escape by outpacing the dog.
Even though Cornet was unharmed, the Ivorian international’s situation could have been far worse.
