West Ham United have high hopes for Krysztian Hegyi.
According to Football.London, goalkeeper Krisztian Hegyi has already trained with West Ham United’s first team after snubbing massive interest.
It’s claimed that Hegyi has been called up to first-team training at times this season, most likely under David Moyes given how he has also been brought into the Under-23’s too.
The report notes that the Hungarian goalkeeper rejected both Manchester United and Real Madrid to join West Ham, surprising snubbing the two gigantic clubs.
Hegyi was emerging with Haladas in his native Hungary before heading to West Ham last year, and it appears the decision is paying off.
The reason for picking West Ham over Real or United would likely be a clearer path to first-team action, and his inclusion in first-team training before the global pandemic suggests he’s already pushing.
Hegyi may not be ready for Premier League action any time soon, but he will surely be learning a lot from veteran stoppers like Lukasz Fabianski and Darren Randolph.
With Ghana Soccernet claiming that Moyes also likes fellow young goalkeeper Joseph Anang, West Ham look to have two rising stars between the sticks; ideal with Fabianski and Randolph in their 30’s.
