Ghanaian teenager, Gideon Kodua says his goal is to make his debut for West Ham United's senior team.
Kodua signed his first professional contract with the Hammers yesterday, December 28.
The 18-year-old joined the West Ham academy in 2017, after he was scouted playing for Newham District.
Kodua has scored seven goals in eleven games for the U-18's so far this season.
Gideon Kodua said his target is to make his competitive debut for David Moyes side.
Kodua has also made four appearances for the U-21 side since making his debut in October.
"I really want to win the U18s league with this team. We’ve worked too hard to not win it. We came so close last season and, if we do win it, it would be absolutely amazing. We all want to win trophies, like the FA Youth Cup," he told whufc.com.
"And, of course, everyone is targeting that senior team debut. We’ve seen it’s possible this season and that’s the aim. I’m proud of Ollie and Divin for doing it but it’s also motivating me to try and do it myself," he added.
