A year ago to the day West Ham United managed to pull off a coup by snapping up young attacker Domingos Quina from Chelsea.

The talented attacking midfielder arrived after spending three years at Chelsea, in what was something of a shock move to their London rivals.

So, 12 months down the line, how has Quina improved?

The 17-year-old has certainly impressed at West Ham since his arrival. He made his debut for the West Ham first-team in the Europa League qualifiers against NK Domzale.

He then went on to sign his first professional contract with the club in November and hopes are high he can be a future hit at the club.

His performances in Premier League 2 have been excellent and he regularly finds himself training with the first team under Slaven Bilic and co, such is the esteem he is held in at the club.

West Ham have themselves a gem on their hands and in the next 12 months he will be hoping to push on even more for the Hammers.
