To date, he has appeared in seven matches for the Hammers U18s in the U18 Premier League and has been booked only once.
He has no international honours for England at this moment, but everything indicates that he will be called up to the Young Lions sooner rather than later going by his imperious displays for West Ham's youth teams.
The 16-year-old Ajibola Alese also plays for West Ham's U18 team.
