Reece Burke
18-year-old Reece Burke made his first league appearance for West Ham away at QPR last weekend following injuries to Winston Reid and James Tomkins, and his assured defensive display – which contributed to a clean sheet – was one of the few positives we can take out of the goalless stalemate at Loftus Road.
The towering centre-back showed great maturity after finally getting the nod and almost had the dream start as his third minute header was cleared off the line.
Burke will be hoping for more regular action after getting his first taste of Premier League football and if he can continue performing like he did on his debut, he could have a long West Ham future ahead of him.
