'Ballon d'Or Winner 2024': Hammers Fans Drool Over Youth Prospect After Stellar Cup Display

West Ham thumped bottom of the football league Macclesfield Town 8-0 to book their place in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, but among all the goals it was 20-year-old Grady Diangana who stole the limelight with a brace on his senior debut for the club.

Winger Diangana scored the Hammers' seventh and eighth goals to record the club's biggest win since beating Bury 10-0 back in 1983 and fans took to Twitter to express their joy that the youngster seized his opportunity to shine under Manuel Pellegrini.

Manuel Pellegrini praised Diangana for his performance and the Chilean, who won this competition twice with Manchester City, was also pleased with his side for adopting a ruthless attitude against lowly Macclesfield Town.
