David Moyes brought the 19-year-old to the London Stadium from Celtic this summer and he has already made a huge impression for the club.

And he was at it again against Aldershot last night.

Okoflex scored both of the Hammers’ goals during a 2-2 pre-season friendly draw for the under-23’s.

He really does look the business.

The 19-year-old was signed with one eye on the future.

His performances during pre-season will have undoubtedly sent a strong massage to David Moyes, however.

West Ham’s under-23 coach Halajko praised the teenager to the hilt after last night’s game, when speaking to WHUFC.com:

“His finishing is fantastic. When he came on trial from Celtic, that was the first thing that really caught our eye in training, which was his finishing. He’s very clinical with really good technique and he’s shown that again tonight. He only had a couple of really clear-cut chances and he certainly made them count.”

Okoflex really does seem like top-class talent and West Ham could have an elite player on their hands.

If he keeps working hard and continues to improve, the sky will be the limit for the 19-year-old starlet.
