As announced by the Hammers on Tuesday, promising young forward Thierry Nevers will now join West Ham United when the transfer window opens on 9 June - prompting many Hammers fans to buzz over this news.

Nevers, who has bagged nine goals in 25 Premier League 2 appearances overall, will now leave Reading after spending nine years in their academy system.

The 19-year-old is seen as a talented prospect and certainly one for the future with West Ham now moving to complete his signing.

Nevers will join the Irons on a three-year contract with the option to extend for an additional year and is described by the official club website as 'quick' and skilful' whilst possessing a 'razor-sharp' eye for goal.

The teenage attacker can play both on the wing and through the middle and takes inspiration from footballing superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar.
