Armstrong Okoflex looked very good indeed during a West Ham United pre-season training session up in St Andrews, Scotland.

Okoflex joined West Ham on a free transfer from Celtic in the summer of 2021 and he made a huge impression at the London Stadium for the under-23s last season.

The 2022/23 campaign very well could be a breakout season for Okoflex.

David Moyes must be very excited about the Dublin-born teenager’s development since he swapped Glasgow for East London.

With Mark Robson at the helm of the under-23s, Okoflex is in very good hands. And if he continues along his current trajectory, West Ham will have a seriously good player on our hands.

Every time he played for the U-23s last season, he looked like a level above most of his teammates and the opposition players.

The talented 20-year-old scored 15 goals in 23 games for the Hammers’ youth team last season (Transfermarkt).

Now’s the time for him to make a splash at senior level though. The 20-year-old forward absolutely has to show David Moyes what he is capable of during the pre-season campaign. And it seems as though that’s exactly what he is doing…

If he continues to work hard and applies himself properly both on and off the pitch, the sky will be the limit for him.

The Dublin-born youngster showed what he’s all about during a West Ham pre-season training session up in St Andrews, Scotland yesterday.

You can see Okoflex’s magnificent solo goal from 21 seconds on in the clip:

Wow.

What a goal that was.

However, the burning question is whether he can translate the form that he showed with the under-23s on into the Premier League with the West Ham senior team.

He’s certainly more than capable of doing it. Okoflex has pace in abundance, plays with a real directness that the Hammers lacked last season and has a keen eye for goal.

The ex-Celtic ace also possesses exceptional technique.

Armstrong Okoflex has clearly already made an impression during the West Ham pre-season tour of Scotland.

And now he has to keep making statements to David Moyes, if he is to have any kind of role to play for the first-team at the London Stadium next season.
