West Ham management are delighted with the progress of Vashon Neufville.
The Sun says England hopeful Aaron Cresswell and Frenchman Arthur Masuaku currently contest the left-back berth at London Stadium.
And the Hammers also have huge hopes for 18-year-old Neufville.
The former England U-16 star is already a regular for West Ham's U-23 side.
But for now boss Slaven Bilic's priority is helping the 15th-placed Hammers recover from their slow start to the season.
