Elite teenage striker duo could be our strike-force for the next 15 years, and could save West Ham United a fortune.
West Ham currently have some exceptionally talented young players coming through the ranks at the London Stadium.

Arguably, two of the most exciting are Divin Mubama and Gideon Kodua.
The two strikers, both 18, have been absolutely sensational for Kevin Keen’s under-18 Hammers side this season.
They are both incredibly well built considering their age. I believe they could be ready to play a part for the senior team next season…
West Ham teenage striker duo ready to take the next step
Mubama was the standout player for the West Ham under-18s this season. He bagged 30 goals in 32 games for the Hammers’ youth sides (Transfermarkt).
Meanwhile, Kodua racked up 13 goals and seven assists in 28 games (Transfermarkt).
Calling both players elite prospects is an understatement. The 18-year-old duo could form a fearsome strike partnership for West Ham for the next 15 years.
Mubama possesses blistering pace and has terrific movement in his locker – the same can be said for Kodua. The teenager pair are exceptional finishers as well. I just feel like they are built to succeed at the very highest level.
We just have to hope that both players continue to develop and improve. My one concern is that David Moyes doesn’t give them any first-team chances next season, and that both players will be loaned out.
We all know how bad the Hammers are at picking good loan moves for our talented young players.
I firmly believe that the West Ham teenage striker duo are stars in the making. Hopefully Moyes and his staff handle their development correctly. And if they do just that, the Hammers will save an absolute fortune in the transfer market.
