Representing my District team and being one of the best teams in the country alongside many other boys from various different academies. This translated to my performances at Arsenal by being scouted by England Youth, Nike Sports brand and other teams in the country.<\/p><p>I represented England at U16 level scoring 3 goals in 7 appearances. The countries I played against were names such as Japan, Russia, France, and Spain.<\/p><p>After being offered a professional contract by Arsenal I chose to sign for West Ham United where I continued to make progress there by scoring 15 goals in my first season being only 17 years of age across age groups of the under 18\u2019s and Under 23\u2019s, 2 goals of which was scored vs. my old team in an
