Jeremy Ngakia made his Premier League debut during West Ham’s 2-0 defeat against Liverpool in January.
The 19-year-old right-back made his first start for the Hammers in front of a packed-out 60,000-strong London Stadium.
After making his Premier League debut, Ngakia’s name was unveiled as the latest addition to the Academy of Football ‘graduates board’ at Chadwell Heath Training Ground as part of a short celebratory ceremony.
West Ham co-owner David Gold took to Twitter on Saturday to post a message on Ngakia.
Gold is a not a hugely popular figure among the West Ham fans.
