West Ham youngster Anthony Scully is making good progress this season.
West Ham youngster Anthony Scully has been speaking to the club’s official website about his good run of form.
Scully has scored three goals in five games and has stepped into a striker role in recent weeks.
One of these came in the victory against West Bromwich Albion on Monday evening.
Scully, 20, is more of a winger, and has flourished since moving into a central position.
He has five goals in five games for the under-23s and under-21s in the EFL Trophy.
Scully said he is enjoying the switch, which came about after Oladapo Afolayan’s loan to Mansfield.
He explained: “It feels good, yeah. I’ve been playing in a different position for just over a month, and I’m really enjoying it up top. Everything’s going well personally, but more importantly, the team got three points on Monday and we kept our unbeaten run going, which is the main thing.
“I’ve no goalscoring target – I just want to keep playing and see how many I can get by the end of the season. Ideally I’ll get a goal every time I play.”
Scully is doing well so far, netting also in the dramatic 5-4 comeback win against Newport County.
He is playing with confidence, and while he continues to score, he stands a chance of getting noticed, whether that be for a future loan spell himself or even a first team call up.
West Ham’s under-23s face Middlesbrough next up on Friday evening.
