West Ham youngster Ollie Scarles says he cried for days after being released by Chelsea but the Hammers picked him up and gave him some much-needed confidence.
The midfielder marked his 17th birthday earlier this month by putting pen to paper on his first professional contract with the east London club. The left-footer signed this deal just six months after penning his Scholarship papers as well.
The teenager, who made his first-team debut in the UEFA Europa Conference League Group B clash away to FCSB in November, is over the moon to extend his stay at the London Stadium but earlier on in his fledgling career, the outlook was not quite as rosy.
