West Ham youngster Levi Laing featured prominently in first-team training today ahead of the clash with Fulham tomorrow.

The Hammers play host to Fulham tomorrow afternoon, and a win is an absolute must as David Moyes looks to get our season back on track.

A win against Wolves in the Premier League last weekend was followed by another victory against Anderlecht in the Europa Conference League.

And since then, the West Ham players have been back training hard, looking to make it three wins in all competitions since the return from the international break.

Whilst the Hammers starting lineup is more or less settled, Moyes has been integrating a selection of talented youngsters into his squad so far this season.

And it seems as though one under-23 player in particular has been catching Moyes’s eye this season.

Levi Laing really impressed Moyes whilst training with the first-team ahead of our clash with Anderlecht earlier this week.

And it seems as though the Scot wants him around the senior team regularly this term…

The 19-year-old joined the Hammers from Arsenal in the summer of 2021.

He has already made a big impression for West Ham’s youth teams.

And Moyes has clearly seen something about the talented teenager that he really likes.

Laing was pictured training with the West Ham first-team this afternoon, ahead of our clash with Fulham tomorrow afternoon.

You can see the pictures by clicking on West Ham’s official website, where Laing featured prominently in four photos.

Now, we’re not suggesting for one minute that the 19-year-old will start for the Hammers against Fulham tomorrow, or even feature at all for that matter.

What is clear though is that West Ham manager Moyes clearly trusts Laing enough to throw him into first-team training.

He has been described as an uncompromising defender who possesses good athleticism and technical ability by the club’s official website.

Meanwhile, youth team coach Mark Robson recently described Laing as ‘outstanding’.

And who knows, the talented teenager might just play a part for the Hammers tomorrow, if we have the match wrapped up with 10 minutes or so still to play.
