Martinez looks set for move to next level
And despite having scored 14 goals in 14 games for the under 23s it’s likely the 19 year old will be allowed to join the midlands outfit as the Hammers continue to blood their best youngsters for first team football.
The newspaper local to the Molineux club – the Express and Star – have reported that the youngster is fancied by Wolves who finished in 15th place in the Championship with 58 points last season.
Wolves’ youngsters were punished by Martinez who grabbed a hat-trick in the match at Telford before meeting and beating Newcastle in the Play-off final where he grabbed both goals in the 2-1 win.
And with academy boss Terry Westley happy to send the best of his squad out on loan, Martinez looks all set to step up a level next season after his loan to Oxford United during the second half of the 2016-17 season.
The 19-year-old forward joined West Ham in 2016 from Valencia for a transfer fee reported to be worth £2.4 million.
