da supremo： Mesaque Dju is hoping to keep scoring for West Ham after netting his first goal for the club’s Under-23 side on Monday.
Dju netted in the Hammers’ 3-0 win over Swansea City after coming on as a substitute.
What’s the word?
Dju joined the Hammers in January, arriving on a free transfer from Benfica.
The winger had played just 82 minutes of football for the club prior to the encounter with Swansea, where he scored with his first touch.
And he has expressed his delight at hitting the back of the net as the Hammers’ Under-23 team battle against relegation.
“I am very happy to get my first goal for this big club,” he told the club’s official website. “Now I have to keep going because we need the points in the league. We have worked hard every day and it was a good win for us tonight.
“It was my first touch I think but I didn’t think – my focus was on the team and doing my best out there and I was very happy to be in the position to score the goal. It was a good touch for me to score and it’s a good night for me.
“When Nathan [Holland] received the ball, I saw him and my first thought was to get inside the box because I know Nathan has the quality and the speed to get across and put the ball in the centre. Luckily, I was in the right place and I am very happy when I touched the ball to score.”
An exciting time for Hammers fans
Dju has only just scored his first goal for the club but fans should be excited.
A Portugal youth international who has been capped at every level from the Under-16s to the Under-20s, he may well be the next exciting academy graduate in east London.
It remains to be seen how long it will take for him to earn senior recognition, but there is surely more to come from Dju.
West Ham fans ought to keep a close eye on him.
