West Ham management delighted with goalkeeping stocks

West Ham United management are delighted with their goalkeeping stocks.

Young goalkeepers Adam Street and Deniz Mehmet have been called-up by Canada and Turkey respectively.

Academy goalkeeping coach Jerome John said the call-ups were a boost for both the players involved and the club as a whole.

He told whufc.com: "Adam has been doing really well. He has worked really hard and has been rewarded with a couple of reserve team appearances. When he has been called upon he has done well and we have high hopes for him for the future. Ludek Miklosko is excited about his prospects and the fact that we have another good young goalkeeper coming through.

"Deniz has also played well for us and is going to represent his country at an age-group a year higher than he could be playing in. He has recently come back from a successful tournament in La Manga in Spain and is full of confidence.

"Myself, Ludek and all the coaching staff at the club are all very excited about the promising crop of young goalkeepers we have coming through and there are more to come."

Alongside Street and Mehmet, West Ham also possess England international Robert Green, former Czech Republic Under-21 international Jan Lastuvka - who is on a year-long loan from Shakhtar Donetsk - Czech Under-19 international Marek Stech and Hungary Under-21 international Peter Kurucz.
