West Ham United has successfully navigated competition from major clubs to secure a long term commitment from the talented Chinaza Nwosu. Amidst strong interest from Manchester United, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur, the central midfielder, eligible for the Golden Eaglets, has decided to continue with the Hammers.
This agreement comes in the form of a professional contract and a scholarship deal, set to be finalized as Nwosu turns 17 next year. Last season, he participated in twelve U18 Premier League games and was also selected for the FA Youth Cup game against Southampton, although he did not play.
Internationally, Nwosu has represented England at the U16 level and contributed to their victories at the Val De Marne Tournament and the Football Federations Cup.
