Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on Thursday that several clubs have made approaches for the 16-year-old midfielder.

The importance of keeping young talents like Nwosu cannot be overstated. While new signings often grab headlines, retaining promising academy players is crucial for long-term success.

West Ham have already seen the exits of academy products Divin Mubama and Ben Johnson, making the retention of Nwosu even more significant.

Whether West Ham can fend off the interest in Nwosu this summer remains to be seen.

However, their commitment to keeping him at the London Stadium signals their intent to build a future with their promising academy talent

Born in England, Nwosu remains eligible to play for Nigeria through his parents.

The youngster features primarily as a defensive midfielder and a central midfielder and his ability on the ball has been hailed.
