West Ham youngster is making a big impression.
West Ham signed Mesaque Dju from Benfica at the end of January and the youngster is already making a strong impression.
Young teammate Jamal Hector Ingram is the latest to sign his praises.
Asked by the club’s official website about the Portugal under-20 international, Hector Ingram was glowing.
He said: “Mesa is adding pace, power and finishing to the team.
“He’s a talented player for sure. He’s starting to get used to England and will need more time to adapt but he’s shown us in training what he’s got.”
Hector Ingram and Dju could both be in action tonight for West Ham’s under-23 side against Liverpool.
19-year-old Dju is West Ham’s second young recruit from Portugal this season, with Xande Silva making an instant impact.
Dju is a winger who can play on either flank, and West Ham coach Terry Westley told the club website that he could even develop into a striker.
The best case scenario for Dju is that he breaks into West Ham’s first team as soon as next season, following Grady Diangana’s rise this campaign.
