West Ham decide future of one of their brightest youngsters.

Results may not be where fans would have hoped, but there are certainly areas that the Hammers have improved upon since Graham Potter took the reins.

By far one of the most pleasing improvements has been his willingness to use academy players. While it’s only really Scarles who has properly broke into the first team, it’s only a matter of time before more leave their mark.

With some of their most exciting prospects out on loan, many have questioned exactly how many of them will be allowed to stay with their loan clubs keen to sign them permanently.

Over the second-half of the season, George Earthy has really made an impact on Bristol City’s promotion chances, despite not scoring many goals.

City fans are understandably desperate to keep hold of him, but reports have claimed that they may not get the privilege as the Irons are already trialing systems to fit him in.

Depending on how he gets on during the early parts of preseason, it may be worth considering sending him back their on loan, but it would be foolish to let a player with some much potential leave yet.
