Callum Marshall admits he always had his heart set on joining West Ham United after signing a three-year professional contract with the club.
The former Linfield Academy forward penned his first pro deal with the Hammers on November 28 - the same date he celebrated his 18th birthday.
Marshall scored an incredible nine goals in just four games for the Under 18s at the start of the season, and has since featured eight times in all competitions for the U21s, scoring his first Premier League 2 goal away to Blackburn Rovers in October.
