After West Ham secured victory in the U21 Cup last season, many thought that some of the more highly-rated stars of that team would be pushed for a first-team breakthrough this season.

With that in mind, we’ve picked out five Development Squad standouts that need to be in first-team consideration going forward because, frankly, our star players aren’t getting it done.
