According to the reliable Twitter user @ExWHUemployee, three West Ham United youngsters are to be named on the substitutes' bench for David Moyes' first match in charge of the club against Watford at Vicarage Road on Sunday, and Irons fans are impressed.

Despite the east London outfit's struggles in the Premier League season – they currently lie 18th in the standings – former manager Slaven Bilic failed to give many of his younger players a chance in the first team, aside from Declan Rice.

However, it appears that as well as the 18-year-old, prolific forward Toni Martinez and other promising starlets like Domingos Quina and Martin Samuelsen could be handed a spot in the 18 on Sunday.

West Ham supporters were quick to have their say on the news via social media, and while one said it was "excellent news and encouraging", another simply said "well done David Moyes".

Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction...
