If there’s one youngster West Ham fans are eager to see break into the first-team this season, it’s Nathan Holland.
What a goal! West Ham U23s level again through Nathan Holland.
The left winger's been threatening all throughout the second half, and this time he manages to skip inside the Brentford challenge and power home. Brilliant! #COYI 2-2 (86) pic.twitter.com/oTU3pS3gQg

The 21-year-old attacker impressed yet again as the winger scored a fantastic solo goal for the U-23s against Brentford’s B team in a 2-2 draw for the Hammers, and West Ham fans were impressed.
So much so that some took to social media to call for the former Everton youth player to be promoted to the first-team with the League Cup fixture against Newport County taking place next week.
Here is what some West Ham supporters had to say on Twitter…
Surely his time is coming

Holland is yet to play a minute of professional football for the Hammers.
