West Ham Under-23s enjoyed a 6-1 win over Arsenal last night and after the game supporters took to Twitter to rave about Armstrong Okoflex for his efforts.

The Hammers young guns had no replies to their counterparts from North London. A blistering second half saw West Ham score five times and Okoflex claim a stunning hat-trick.

The youngster is a new addition to the young Hammers ranks. He checked in during the summer from Celtic on a free transfer and boy has he made an instant impact.

Interestingly, the Hoops snapped him up from Arsenal where he spent one season. How the Gunners must be feeling like they’ve made a huge mistake after last night.

Okoflex took his goals exceptionally well and supporters must be extremely excited to see what the future holds for the talented 19-year-old.

Okoflex typically operates as a winger, although he can play a more central role in spearheading an attack.
