An attack-minded full-back who made three appearances for the U18s last season, Asher Falase has enjoyed developing as a technically adept, but also tough-tackling, right-back at the Academy of Football.

Growing up in Harlow, Essex, and joining West Ham as a nine-year-old, Falase looks up to the likes of Dani Alves for inspiration. 

The defender's first full season with the West Ham United U18s saw him play 25 times in all competitions, including 16 starts, as Kevin Keen's side finished second in the U18 Premier League South.
