Hammers kid may get his chance against Canaries

Top game from young Longelo

Impressive young left back Emmanuel Longelo may get his Premier League debut should Aaron Cresswell remain unavailable for the game against Norwich on Saturday.

The youngster was mightily impressive when appearing in the Europa Cup match against Dinamo Zagreb and could have been expected to have at least been in the squad last night as the only naturally left sided full back available.

Instead, the manager chose to go with a player whom he has admitted is not a defender in Arthur Masuaku and we were left to watch in horror as he was crucified by Bukayo Sako but escaped criticism from Moyes who instead reserved his moans for the unlucky Vladi Coufal .

Ok, it may have been a bridge too far for Longelo last night but he could hardly have been any worse than Arthur and probably a lot better.

However, we are told he is likely to be in the frame for the visit of the Canaries should the match go ahead at the weekend after his near man of the match performance in Europe should Cresswell still be sidelined.
