Pre-season Watch: Alese Enjoying Life At West Ham

Though he might not be getting much attention from the media like Arsenal youngster Bukayo Saka or Chelsea starlet Faustino Anjorin, West Ham youngster Ajibola Alese is having a great time with West Ham U23s.

Steve Potts' men ended their one-week pre-season camp in Slovakia with an impressive 3-1 victory over FC Humenne on Saturday and the 18-year-old defender was involved in the encounter from start to finish as he put in a fine shift.

The Irons are expected to return to England for the second lap of their pre-season friendly matches ahead of their 2019-20 Premier League 2 opening fixture.

The Nigeria-eligible defender will hope to get more game time in the upcoming friendly match against National League Side Dagenham & Redbridge which will take place on the 26th of July at Chigwell Construction Stadium.

Nigeria Football Federation must keep a close eye on the England U18 international because he is one of the quality defenders capable of stepping into Leon Balogun's shoes whenever the 31-year-old puts an end to his international career.
