Nathan Holland is hopeful of breaking into the West Ham first team.
West Ham youngster Nathan Holland has praised manager Slaven Bilic after he was handed a first team debut last week.
The winger was a substitute in the 3-0 Carabao Cup win over Bolton Wanderers, and believes there will be plenty more opportunities down the line.
Holland believes this is because boss Bilic has indicated he believes in his talent, and he is enjoying working under the former Croatia boss.
Holland told West Ham’s official website: “I just need to keep working hard with the U23s and then I’ll hopefully get another chance soon.
“I am training with the first team a lot and the gaffer has shown his faith in me; I can see that he believes in me.
“He is a great coach and he’s built a good relationship with everyone. He wants to win so badly every game so hopefully we can repay him by keep getting more wins now and have a good season.”
West Ham have struggled in the Premier League this season, winning only one match.
This has put Bilic under pressure, but Holland will certainly be hoping he is given the opportunity to stick around.
Giving more opportunities to young hungry players like Holland could be one way Bilic tries to turn the team’s form around.
