Three West Ham U21s to watch in National League Cup final
Preston Fearon
Central midfielder Preston Fearon has played more minutes than any other player for West Ham U21s this season.
He and Ryan Battrum are also the only two players to feature in all six of the Hammers’ National League Cup fixtures.
Fearon is a well-rounded player with impressive athleticism, technical ability, and an eye for a goal.
Josh Ajala
Josh Ajala is probably the U21 player whom West Ham supporters should be most excited to watch.
The 19-year-old forward has netted four times in five National League Cup games, while he has 11 goals in all competitions.
The former Chelsea prospect is a quick and skilful striker who cannot be far from a first-team call-up at the London Stadium.
Lewis Orford
20-year-old Lewis Orford has long been regarded as one of the brightest prospects in West Ham’s academy.
The central midfielder has earned caps for England U20s and has made three appearances for the Hammers’ first team.
Orford has scored two goals in the National League Cup campaign and often captains the side.
