Taking a closer look at West Ham United’s brightest prospects
West Ham United have some very exciting teenagers coming through the ranks right now but only the very best will ultimately make it as first-team regulars at the London Stadium.
Here we take a look at three of the club’s brightest youngsters, for whom stardom surely beckons by 2020:
Reece Oxford
Not just one of the best teenagers at West Ham, but one of the best in the entire country, 18-year-old Reece Oxford has it all.
He proved against Arsenal last season that he is the real deal and it is only surprising that he has failed to make a significant breakthrough after those first impressive steps in the senior side.
His time will come, and by 2020 he should be a regular for club and possibly even for country.

Toni Martinez
Young Spanish striker Toni Martinez has been in sensational form for West Ham’s under-23 side this season and he has now headed out on loan to Oxford United.
One of the most natural finishers the Hammers have seen in a long time, Martinez should be scoring regularly in the top flight by the start of the next decade.
Martin Samuelsen
A potential superstar in the making, Martin Samuelsen has the confidence, talent, vision and balance to be a play-maker of the highest order.
It will take time for him to get used to the physical demands of the Premier League but, assuming he does, West Ham fans are in for a treat.
