During the international break, West Ham United youngster Jacob Knightbridge was observed practising with the first squad.

The club released a video on their official YouTube page featuring some of their best talents who are now gone from the club.

David Moyes will be overjoyed with how this season has started.

Not long ago, their great player Declan Rice left the club, and they were having difficulty finding a successor.

Five senior players have joined since then, with Andy Irving returning to Austria Klagenfurt on loan.

Two newcomers in particular have already made an impression, with James Ward-Prowse and Edson Alvarez looking like excellent signings.

Despite challenging games against Chelsea and Brighton, West Ham are unbeaten in the league and have only dropped two points.

Moyes is eager to give some of West Ham’s young players an opportunity in training, and Jacob Knightbridge has been selected.

With Alphonse Areola on international duty, the 19-year-old goalkeeper was promoted to the senior squad.

He joined Joseph Anang and Lukasz Fabianski in goal as the group was put through their paces in the sweltering heat.

Knightbridge has joined West Ham’s main training squad.

The group can be seen in the video completing some high-intensity running and passing drills before playing a small-sided game.

Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen, and Thilo Kehrer are among those who have participated after being snubbed by their national teams.

Bowen, in particular, may feel cheated considering his outstanding start to the season.

Among the show’s senior cast members, Knightbridge has joined the West Ham squad in training as they prepare for their upcoming match against Manchester City.

The England Under-18 international is the club’s fourth choice this season after spending last season on loan at Harrow Borough.

He is presently the first-choice goalkeeper for West Ham Under-21s, having helped them win three of their first four games of the season.

This season, Knightbridge may be hoping for another loan move to gain more senior minutes.

He was in the seventh division last season and would benefit greatly from a promotion.
