West Ham boast of one of the best youth setups in England, with a long line of superstars emerging from the Hammers famous Academy.
Declan Rice is one of the club’s latest graduates making waves, and Grady Diangana looks set to follow suit.
Youth players find it hard to make the grade and break into their sides’ senior team on a permanent basis these days, and one can only wonder if manager Manuel Pellegrini can record success where former boss Slaven Bilic struggled.
The Chilean handed Diangana his first-team debut of recent, and after taking his chance by grabbing a brace in the 8-0 League Cup win over Macclesfield Town, he has been rewarded with an extended stay with the senior side.
