Lewis Orford most exciting youngster at West Ham
The 16-year-old Hammer has been named as the most exciting youngster at the London Stadium and one of the Premier League’s 20 most talented young players by The Guardian.
Orford is very highly rated at West Ham and it’s little wonder why. He really is an exceptional young player.
He bagged three goals and eight assists in 25 games for the Hammers’ under-18’s last season (Transfermarkt).
This term, he already has four goals and one assist to his name in just four games so far (Transfermarkt).
The talented central midfielder is a gifted technician and has really impressed at youth level for the Hammers over the past year or so.
Lewis Orford being named the most exciting youngster at West Ham and one of the Premier League’s best 20 young talents should give him a huge confidence boost.
It will be interesting to keep a close eye on the talented youngster over the next few years to see how he develops.
