# West Ham United: Fans flock to news on Armstrong Okoflex

**Many West Ham United supporters have been left drooling over Armstrong Okoflex after the prodigious talent scored the winner against Ipswich Town in the EFL Trophy.**

Okoflex, 19, joined the club on a two-year deal from Scottish Premiership side Celtic, where he made [two senior appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/armstrong-okoflex/leistungsdaten/spieler/531461/plus/0?saison=2020) last season after impressing on trial at the Academy of Football.

He made an instant impact on the West Ham under-23s with a [hat-trick](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/armstrong-okoflex/leistungsdaten/spieler/531461) on his debut against Arsenal in a 6-1 win.

The young Hammers travelled to Portman Road looking to get off to a winning start in the EFL Trophy this week, but were immediately behind after only two minutes when James Norwood scored to put the League One side ahead.

Keenan Appiah-Forson levelled the scoring 12 minutes in though, before Okoflex tucked a penalty away in the 89th minute to hand the Hammers the win against the struggling Tractor Boys.
