West Ham youngster earns praise again after under-23 display.
West Ham United youngster Nathan Holland continues to wow his under-23 boss Terry Westley.
Holland starred as West Ham’s youngsters beat their Manchester United counterparts 4-2 at the weekend.
Holland signed for West Ham from Everton in 2016 and has been a revelation since the move.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Westley talked highly of the 19-year-old.
He said: “Holland can go past anybody, and I’ve not seen a better player with the ball who is quick for a very long time. He has to get better with movement and out of possession but he’s a huge threat.”
Holland combined well with Antonio Martinez in the victory, with the young Spaniard netting a hat-trick.
West Ham could decide now to give the duo a chance in the Carabao Cup when they face Tottenham at Wembley later in the month – at this point Holland and Martinez could not do much more.
The Hammers’ under-23 side was supplemented by Sam Byram, Edi Fernandes and Declan Rice who all dropped down to get some game time.
It was an uplifting day for the under-23s at the London Stadium, with more than 1,400 fans watching on.
