This has got many West Ham fans calling for the 21-year-old to become a more permanent feature in the first-team.
Holland started the 4-0 Carabao Cup loss against Oxford United, which was his first game at senior level since his 28 minutes at the end of a 3-0 win against Bolton Wanderers, as per Transfermarkt.
The 21-year-old played 57 minutes against Oxford, completing two key passes and 80% of the passes he attempted, while he also managed one tackle and one interception, as per SofaScore.

Holland should be in squad in place of Snodgrass, he either sits on bench or strolls around on the pitch Holland would be an improvement in every way

Time to get this lad into matchday squad. Competition for both Anderson and Yarmolemko can only be a good thing

If we gave Diangana a chance last season, why not Holland this season?
