A couple of years ago, a report claimed that David Moyes and his staff loved the young midfielder.
Moyes also included Appiah-Forson in multiple European squads, giving him two senior appearances against Dynamo Zagreb and FCSB respectively.

Keenan Appiah-Forson leaving West Ham to join Dagenham on loan went under the radar
The 21-year-old has joined the Daggers on a season-long loan.
The fact that he left on loan isn’t a huge shock, he wouldn’t have been getting regular football at the London Stadium this season that’s for sure.
However, the fact that he has joined a National League club is a big surprise.
Considering how much Moyes rated West Ham starlet Keenan Appiah-Forson, for him to drop down four divisions really is a sign that he might not be developing in the way that the Scot and his staff had hoped.
After a loan move like this one, I really can’t imagine the young midfielder having any kind of future with the Hammers unfortunately.
