Mark Warburton delivers verdict on West Ham's former Chelsea man after scoring in Cambridge win

West Ham United first-team coach Mark Warburton was pleased with academy midfielder Pierre Ekwah following his goal in the Hammers' 4-2 win over Cambridge United.

During the six-goal clash in a testimonial match for U's captain and West Ham supporter Greg Taylor, Ekwah was one of a number of academy players to come off the bench in the second half and took his chance with the first-team, scoring the Hammers' fourth goal of the game with a good finish from outside of the penalty area.

Ekwah, who spent three years at Chelsea prior to joining West Ham's academy in the summer of 2021, was one of five academy players to feature in the second half alongside Michael Forbes, Levi Laing, Kamarai Swyer and Freddie Potts, with the latter providing the assist for Ekwah's goal.
