Sonny Perkins could feature in West Ham v Chelsea – Journo
West Ham young talent Sonny Perkins could play some part against Chelsea in the Premier League clash on Saturday, according to Football London journalist Tom Clark.
On Friday, West Ham under-23 side played against Swansea, where Perkins was absent from the squad.
The youngster has been probably rested so that he doesn’t get injured ahead of the London derby.
Clark wrote on Twitter: “No Perkins with the U23 so looks like he’ll be involved in some way tomorrow vs Chelsea”
Big decision
The youngster is one of the highly-rated talents in the West Ham academy.
He recently made his senior debut for the club against Rapid Vienna in the Europa League.
It was an impressive cameo, and the youngster nearly scored on his debut after he came off the bench in the 2-0 victory.
Since then, West Ham have lost 2-1 against Manchester City, and drew 1-1 against Brighton.
West Ham are without a win in their last three Premier League games, and it will be a tough contest against the Premier League leaders.
On top of that, it’s a derby clash, so it expects to be a feisty affair.
Michail Antonio has been going through a rough patch at the moment, but he has been one of the top performers this season.
Moyes is showing huge faith in Perkins, and it remains to be seen whether the youngster will be used at some point against Chelsea.
