West Ham have announced that highly-rated midfielder Domingos Quina has signed his first professional contract. It will keep him at the club until 2019.

Quina, 17, has attracted interest from a number of Europe’s leading sides but the former Benfica and Chelsea schoolboy has pledged his immediate future to the Irons.

Quina has already attracted headlines this season after he scored a 40-yard wonder goal against Leicester City for the U23s in October.

On signing he said:  “I am very happy to have signed my first professional contract with West Ham and it has always been my dream.

“I chose West Ham because it is a great Club and they like to give young players opportunities to break into the first-team like Reece Oxford and I hope to do the same.

“I like to enjoy my football and do things which people are not expecting. I really enjoyed my goal against Leicester and it was a great moment.

“That was not the first time I had scored a goal like that and hopefully there is more to come!

“I know that talent alone is not enough to see me develop as a player and I just want to keep working hard every day. Hopefully I will get my chance.”
