Mohamadou Kant\u00e9 has received plenty of attention for his excellent performances with West Ham\u2019s U21s this season \u2014 and deservedly so.<\/p>\n

After it was revealed yesterday that the powerful midfielder had been drafted into senior training by manager Nuno Espirito Santo, many wondered if he might make the matchday squad. With Ezra Mayers featuring on the bench against Newcastle<\/a> last week, could Kant\u00e9 be next in line for tomorrow\u2019s clash with Burnley?<\/p>\n

However, after speaking to a source at the training ground today, it appears another young player has really caught Nuno\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n

Golambeckis has impressed everyone in the Wets Ham senior squad<\/p>\n

Claret & Hugh<\/a> were told that Nuno has been \u201cvery impressed\u201d with central defender Airidas Golambeckis, who has also been training with the senior team.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old-who has just signed a new deal- has reportedly turned heads at Rush Green, with one insider revealing: \u201cThe manager really likes Golambeckis \u2014 he\u2019s not looked out of place among the seniors.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s said to be a real buzz around the academy at present, particularly with Steve Potts and Mark Robson now drafted into Nuno\u2019s first-team coaching setup. Combined with Premier League<\/a> starts handed to Callum Marshall, Ollie Scarles, and Freddie Potts, it\u2019s clear that a genuine pathway from academy to senior football is beginning to take shape under the new boss.<\/p>\n

And if Nuno\u2019s early actions are anything to go by, Golambeckis and Kant\u00e9 could soon be the next names stepping onto that path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mohamadou Kant\u00e9 has received plenty of attention for his excellent performances with West Ham\u2019s U21s this season \u2014…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":250133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-250132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
