The West Ham United youngster has really impressed this season.
West Ham youngster Grady Diangana spoke to reporters about his recent rise to the first-team setup at the London Stadium, and shared the advice given to him by Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini, as quoted by the Sun.
The 20-year-old has really impressed for West Ham this season, making four appearances in all competitions so far.
The Democratic of Congo born winger moved to London when he was just four years old, and he has been part of the Hammers youth setup since 2010.
Diangana has showcased real talent, approaching the game with a certain kind of fearlessness that defies his tender years.
The West Ham ace spoke to reporters, and shared what Pellegrini told him before he played his first senior game for the club, as quoted by the Sun:
“It’s good the manager has faith in me. He tells me to play like I do in training. That is me being myself so I don’t feel any pressure. I just go out there to express myself.”
West Ham welcome Tottenham to the London Stadium in the Carabao Cup tonight, and Diangana will be hoping for another chance to impress in front of the Hammers faithful.
