Patrick Kelly likely to complete West Ham move within the next seven days
Talented British midfielder Patrick Kelly is flying to London on Sunday (19 June) as West Ham are edging closer to securing his deal, as per ExWHUemployee.
Ex wrote via his Patreon account on Sunday (19 June) that the Colerain midfielder is expected to complete his move sometime within the next seven days.
The young midfielder will be looking to follow in the footsteps of young Callum Marshall, who was superb for the academy last season (2021-22).
Bright prospect
Kelly has reportedly chosen West Ham over other clubs (Sky Sports, Jun 13, 15:07) which shows that he really feels that he has a good chance to represent the senior team in the future.
At the same time, it seems the Hammers do have a distinct plan in their mind for the 17-year-old teenager.
Definitely, he is the one for the future. He is unlikely to be a first-team player any time soon, but he has a chance to make the senior grade at the club.
The Hammers’ fabled academy has produced quality players over the years, and last season, David Moyes gave chances to several young players in the Europa League.
It will be interesting to see if he could be part of the pre-season squad and this is where Moyes could have a close look at him.
The reliable Hammers insider suggests that he is definitely going to sign for the London club, and it seems the announcement could take place anytime before next week.
In other West Ham news, ExWHUemployee claims that the Hammers are confident of beating Manchester City to sign an attacking sensation this summer.
