Diego Poyet

Diego Poyet

The son of Sunderland manager Gus is already a renowned name at Upton Park. He joined from Charlton Athletic in West Ham’s very busy summer window for the start of this season. The 19-year-old is very comfortable in possession and boasts an excellent range of passing. He was voted Charlton’s player of the season for the 2013/14 campaign and attracted interest from clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City.

Sam Allardyce has just sent Poyet on loan to Championship club Huddersfield Town for a month. By giving Poyet regular first team football at a decent level, it will allow Poyet to develop his game further. He may also become a valuable midfielder when the African Cup of Nations kicks off in January as West Ham could lose both Alex Song and Cheikou Kouyate.
