![]() ![]() This is one we may revisit next summer if he’s no closer to a first team spot. Given his young age, I wouldn’t expect us to go for a loan deal and as he’s only a year into a three-year contract, a permanent move will probably be out of the question for now. He’s been a regular in the Hammers’ Under 18’s team and is also rumoured to be on the verge of a Northern Ireland call up.
