Marcus Browne appears to have moved ahead of Sead Haksabanovic in the selection order at West Ham United.
David Moyes has seen enough in the youngster to suggest he has a big future at the London Stadium.
Browne scored four in West Ham under-23’s latest match against Everton, and he is now due to earn a new contract, according to the Mail.
While West Ham fans are enthused that the prospect could be given a run-out in their first-team, Sead Haksabanovic may be watching on with some frustration.
Haksabanovic had been West Ham’s development squad’s star creator in the early part of the season, but he could not earn a regular chance in the Hammers’ senior squad.
Haksabanovic had to make do with a handful of substitute appearances, and he impressed, but since Moyes has taken charge his chances have dried up.
And it seems that Haksabanovic now has another obstacle blocking his route to the first-team in the form of Browne, as he has slipped even further down the pecking order.
