West Ham youngster Earthy urged to take inspiration from Silva

West Ham youngster George Earthy has been urged to build up his body in the summer.

The 19-year-old netted a goal in a 3-1 win over Luton Town in the Premier League on Saturday.

Manager David Moyes was impressed, but had a few words of advice for Earthy.

"George is a really, really talented player," said Moyes post-game.

“What George will need to do is build up and improve his strength and his power.

"His football ability is not in question one bit, but it will be more about how he can handle and come into the Premier League.

"You think of the likes of David Silva, players like that who might have been slight in stature but they still found a way.

"George's challenge now will be to find a way of developing that to the point where he can become an established Premier League player."
