Ghanaian midfielder Keenan Appiah-Forson has described the just end youth football season in England as one of his best. 

The 18-year old West Ham United player earned his first professional contract after a stellar campaign with the U-18's and U-21's.

“I would say it’s been one of my best seasons so far because I’ve had so many different opportunities,” Appiah-Forson told West Ham United website.

“I’m a holding midfielder, but I’m versatile, so I can play right-back as well and do a job there. I would say I’m energetic, and I try to help the team in different ways.

“I’ve played for the U23s some of the time and starting lots of games for the U18s. I didn’t think that was going to happen this season, but it just shows that hard work pays off.

“As an Academy I feel like we’ve all done well, and I think we should congratulate our coaches because they’ve brought something different into the team and made us stronger.”
