West Ham United Unveil New Signing Xande Silva at London Stadium on August 2, 2018 in London, England.

West Ham United fans have called for Xande Silva to be called straight into the first-team by Manuel Pellegrini.

Silva was only brought to West Ham this summer, but he has made an immediate name for himself.

The West Ham youngster scored a hat-trick, as the Hammers picked up a 3-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Silva’s goals were all well taken, but one blasted strike in particular caught the eye.

And West Ham fans have called for Pellegrini to give the youngster his chance in the first-team set-up.

West Ham’s start to the season was poor, as they were battered by Liverpool at Anfield.

Silva still appears to have plenty of players to jump ahead of in the pecking order at West Ham, as Pellegrini can also pick the likes of Marko Arnautovic, Javier Hernandez and Lucas Perez to play up-front.
