When Jarrod Bowen signed for West Ham on deadline day in January 2020, there was a genuine fear they would soon be dropping down to the Championship.
Now all the chatter around the London Stadium is about making the Champions League after an incredible transformation under David Moyes.
Bowen, who cost the Hammers an initial £18million to buy from Hull City back then, has proved an absolute bargain and an inspired purchase.
The winger is in the midst of an excellent season that has seen nine goals and 10 assists across all competitions, taking him to the brink of a first England call-up.
