Sead Haksabanovic trained with West Ham United’s first team again today.
Sead Haksabanovic trained with the West Ham United senior side on Friday. The 18-year-old starlet, who joined West Ham under former manager Slaven Bilic for £2.7 million, is still waiting for his Premier League debut, having barely featured for the Irons since his summer arrival.
The Swedish attacking midfielder has only made one senior appearance for the Hammers this season – a League Cup win over Bolton Wanderers – but has largely found himself playing for the Under-21 side in EFL Trophy matches.
But it seems like Bilic’s successor David Moyes might also be a big fan of his.
Haksabanovic was an unused substitution in the 3-0 win at Stoke City in the Premier League earlier this month and the fact that he is still training with the first team might suggest that a league debut isn’t far away.
Today, West Ham star Marko Arnautovic was seen putting an arm around Haksabanovic and Domingos Quina – another very highly-rated Bilic prodigy.
Moyes’s side host West Brom in London on Tuesday and it’ll be interesting to see if the Scottish manager includes either of the two youngsters in the matchday squad.
