Never heard of him so looked him up. Irish forward, Nigerian heritage. 21. Free agent after a year in Portugal having come through West Ham’s academy. Two unremarkable loans in League One to donny and port vale, totalling five league goals in 38 appearances (also got one in the efl trophy, 6 on 43 overall at this level). The gaffer had him at Port Vale though so I imagine he must think he has something. Also previous to those had a handful of games at Huddersfield in the Championship when he didn’t do so well, but was only 18/19 at the time.
Nowt wrong with taking a look at a player, especially for little to no cost. Rather we did this than offer out contracts to everyone walking through the door.
It's a first date, not a marriage. Gaffer must have seen something in him to give him a run out. These early pre season games don't tell you much, but the coaches have something to look at in a competitive game. I'm feeling OK with the pre season, but there is a lot of business to sort out yet. We always are forced to leave it late, but we've brought in 3 key players thus far, so not too bad in my book.
