West Ham fans have been reacting to a report highlighting the impressive start young Danish centre-back Frederik Alves has made to life in east London.
The 21-year-old Dane arrived in January from Silkeborg and was expected to remain as part of the Hammers’ Under 23s for the foreseeable future.
However, having suitably impressed in his short time with the club, Alves has already made strides towards first-team action and has been earmarked as an option for David Moyes next season.
As reports elsewhere emerge claiming this will be Fabian Balbuena’s last season with the Irons and question marks remain over Craig Dawson and Winston Reid for next term – Alves’ progression has come as music to the ears of the Hammers faithful.
Here’s a pick of the reactions from Twitter…
