Rising star Reece Burke has put pen to paper on a professional contract with West Ham United.

18 earlier this month, the promising central defender grabbed the headlines when scoring the winning goal in the pre-season friendly against Sampdoria last month.

Over the summer he has been the centre of a transfer tug of war with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all vying for the England Under 18 international's signature.

However Burke opted to reject all those and other, almost certainly more lucrative offers in favour of remaining at West Ham's world-famous Chadwell Heath Academy, where he has played since the age of nine.
