After his recent call-up to the Switzerland national team, Hammers star Edimilson Fernandes took time out of his busy schedule to help coach a group of talented youngsters at a West Ham United Foundation event in Beckton.
The 20-year-old has enjoyed a successful start to his West Ham United career, scoring in the 2-1 EFL Cup victory over Chelsea in October and has become an established member of the first-team squad.
The midfielder took part in a number of sessions laid on by the Club’s Foundation and even joined in with a match before posing for photographs and signing autographs.
The youngsters were thrilled to see Fernandes make an appearance and were not afraid to show off their skills in front of the 20-year-old.
