West Ham United captain Mark Noble has promised not to allow the club’s young talents to get carried away, as reported on the club’s official website.
Declan Rice and Grady Diangana are two youngsters have stood out for the Hammers this season under Manuel Pellegrini.
Diangana signed a contract extension last week, meaning he will be with the Hammers until the summer of 2025.
Rice also extended his deal in December, signing until the summer of 2024 and Noble believes that they can now fully concentrate on their performances for the club. He said:
I think it’s right that the Club has signed him [Diangana] up because, as I’ve said from day one, you have to keep hold of your best young players. Both Grady and Declan Rice, who also signed a new contract a few weeks ago, are fantastic.
Grady has come on leaps and bounds since he got into the team so, now he is set up for life off the pitch, he needs to knuckle down and work even harder.
Of course, I have a role as captain and as an experienced player not to ever let the younger ones get carried away. They are young men and are both 20, so it’s a little bit different to myself, as I was playing first-team football at 17 and had played a lot of games by then.
I am sure they both have what it takes to play in the Premier League.
Rice has cemented his position in the first team and normally lines up alongside Noble in midfield.
