The West Ham United teenager needs to start performing consistently.
After a few brief sightings of midfielder Martin Samuelsen in action, the majority of West Ham United fans knew they had quite a player on their hands.
Unfortunately for the young Norwegian, he has been unable to build on his impressive initial loan spell at Peterborough United, failing to get much of a look-in at Blackburn Rovers before struggling second time around with the Posh.
However, a two-goal haul in his return to under-23 action for West Ham suggests he could yet end the season on something of a high, giving Hammers manager Slaven Bilic something to think about in the process.
Samuelsen needs to work hard on certain areas of his game, but his struggles may have come at the perfect time, ensuring he understands the need to keep building on his undeniable talent.
With West Ham reaching the under-23 play-offs Samuelsen has a few more matches to prove his worth with the second string, and if he plays to his full potential, expect more goals and assists before he puts his feet up this summer.
Given his recent struggles it would be foolish to suggest that Samuelsen will become a regular starter for West Ham as early as next season. However if he ends this campaign well, it could give him the boost needed to ensure he remains at the London Stadium next year and begins to make waves in the Premier League.
