West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini brought in Goncalo Cardoso over the summer transfer window.
West Ham brought in Cardoso in the summer transfer window, but the 18-year-old is a relative unknown.
Cardoso has never played football outside of Portugal before, so West Ham fans are now eager to see his talents.
There was some suggestions that Cardoso may be thrown into Pellegrini’s line-up for their Carabao Cup tie against Newport County this week.
However, Pellegrini thinks that he needs to be cautious with the teenager.
“Goncalo is a young player who maybe needs some more time,” Pellegrini said about the teenaged centre-back.
Cardoso has already made his debut for West Ham’s under-23 side, and it seems that he may have to play at that level for some time yet.
One new signing that could get his first chance for West Ham against Newport is Albian Ateji, according to Football London.
