Jack Collison has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to the performance of West Ham United youngster Ajibola Alese for the England Under-18 side.

West Ham youth-team captain Alese featured in the England Under-18 side’s 3-0 win against their Netherlands counterpart on Wednesday.

The central defender came on as a late substitute for the Young Lions in their opening match at the Limoges International Tournament.

The 17-year-old, who signed a three-year contract with the Hammers in July, has been playing well for West Ham in their U18 Premier League South campaign so far this season.

Alese is a very talented and promising young centre-back, and his encouraging performances so far this season underline the progress and development he is making – and perhaps in the coming years he will make his debut for the London club’s first team.
