Academy

West Ham United have always thrived when developing academy products.

They have had numerous iconic names such as Bobby Moore, Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst all come up through the West Ham system.

Additionally, so did Trevor Brooking, Alvin Martin, Tony Cottee, Paul Ince and Declan Rice.

So, it’s always good to keep an eye on the next generation of Hammers. Here is West Ham’s current Under-21s squad.
