Dan Chesters, Keenan Appiah-Forson set to stay at West Ham
Dan Chesters and Keenan Appiah-Forson are reportedly set to stay at West Ham beyond this summer after making their European debuts.
According to ExWHUemployee, the two youngsters, along with and defender Will Greenidge are set to stay put at the London Stadium.
Unfortunately for many other players, they have been shown the door and will play no further role at the club.
Ex wrote, “It is this time of the year where academies make very hard decisions on which players they wish to keep on and which they will allow to leave the club on a free.
“These players will not leave until June and will remain at the club until the official released list comes into force.
“Whilst there is time for the situation to change, we believe that Dan Chesters, Keenan Appiah-Forson (both have featured in Europe this year) and defender Will Greenidge are some of the lucky ones to be kept on.”
Good move
David Moyes has promoted many a young player to the senior team throughout his career.
He was known for doing that at Everton and we’re seeing patterns of it at West Ham as well.
The club’s academy has been producing some real gems recently and we cannot wait to see how they fare in the future.
The Europa League group stages were the perfect stage for him to give them some game time and they’ve done really well thus far.
Hopefully, we see more of them in the pre-season campaign and they’re then integrated into the Premier League sides as well.
Conor Coventry is one such player who now seems to be on the cusp of making it into the first team.
