West Ham United’s hierarchy face transfer decisions over five of their young prospects who have expiring contracts at the London Stadium.
The Hammers’ academy has been having a good season, with the under-18s just days away from clinching the Under-18s Premier League South table and in the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup next month.
However, the younger end of the academy shining, it has led to older members leaving as West Ham look to capitalise on a talented crop of teenagers. Pierre Ekwah, Aji Alese, Harrison Ashby, Manny Longelo and Will Greenidge have all departed the club permanently this season.
