The likes of Divin Mubama and Ollie Scarles have led the way.

It seems as though there is another prodigious talent coming through the ranks at the London Stadium though…

West Ham under-18s beat Arsenal to win the league

The result this afternoon put the Hammers an insurmountable 14 points clear of second placed Crystal Palace.

It was obviously a memorable day for the West Ham youngsters, especially Divine Mukasa.

The 15-year-old came on as a 56th minute substitute in place of Favour Fawunmi and put the Hammers ahead just 12 minutes later.

West Ham beat Arsenal 2-0 in the end – a result that sealed the league title for the under-18s.

What an unbelievable day it was for the under-18s. And Mukasa’s 34 minute cameo really was so good to see.

The 15-year-old attacking midfielder possesses exceptional technique and has a great engine on him for someone so young.

Mukasa has all of the raw ingredients needed to go on and become a real star for the Hammers senior team. And if he continues to work hard and apply himself properly off the pitch, I have no doubts in my mind that he will reach the very top.

The West Ham under-18s beating Arsenal today was a sign that there are really exciting times ahead for the Hammers fans. And Mukasa’s display was a huge reason behind our victory.
