West Ham youngster Freddie Potts has signed a new contract with the club until the summer of 2029.
The 21-year-old midfielder - the son of former defender Steve Potts - is on loan at Championship side Portsmouth, where he has made 30 appearances, scoring one goal.
Potts, who has been with the Hammers since the age of five and made his debut in 2021 in the Europa League against Dinamo Zagreb, said: "I've wanted to be a West Ham player my whole life."
West Ham sporting director Mark Noble told the club's official website: "When I was captain, we used to go over to Chadwell Heath to watch the younger age groups and do some coaching.
"I remember seeing Fred when he was in the under-11s, you could see straight away his enthusiasm and love for the game."
"Obviously, his dad is a legend at the club... but he's not going to play for West Ham because of that. He's going to play for West Ham because he's got the qualities and the ability and the mindset to play.
"I truly believe he can play for us. We have such high hopes for him, and it was important to get this deal done to secure his future."
