Nebyla has already been put through his paces at training by former West Ham defenders Matthew Upson and Paul Konchesky, and he is set to return to the club in July having left for the Bermund Tournament.

The Slovakian will link up with the Hammers under-18’s upon his return, but he already has eyes set on breaking into the under-23’s sooner rather than later.

West Ham are paying attention to youth development, and will keep hoping many more from the set-up can follow in the footsteps of Declan Rice.

Nebyla seems a promising player, and while he is highly rated back home at Slovakian Super Liga champions Spartaka Trnava, the lure of English football was too much for the teenager to turn down.

Should the young midfield prodigy fulfil his potential, he could be on his way to the senior team in few seasons’ time.
