West Ham youngster signed from Everton in January.

West Ham winger Nathan Holland made history last night by scoring the club’s first under-23 goal at the London Stadium.

The England youth international signed from Everton in January and has made a positive early impression for the Hammers even before last night.

He netted the opener in a 2-0 Premier League 2 clash against Fulham, curling in a superb effort from outside the box.

Holland commented on Twitter after the game expressing his delight at being able to make an impact.

The teenager is going about making an impression the right way at his new club, and is clearly a player to watch for the future.

Everton have a talented academy and are competing for the title this season, but letting Holland go could well be a decision they go on to regret, and West Ham go on to benefit from.
