Jeremy Ngakia made his Premier League debut during West Ham’s 2-0 defeat against Liverpool in January.

The 19-year-old right-back made his first Premier League start for the Hammers in front of a packed-out 60,000-strong London Stadium, and it was a day he will probably never forget.

After making his Premier League debut, Ngakia’s name was unveiled as the latest addition to the Academy of Football ‘graduates board’ at Chadwell Heath Training Ground as part of a short celebratory ceremony.

West Ham co-owner David Gold took to Twitter on Saturday to post a message about Ngakia.

Gold is a not a hugely popular figure among the West Ham fans. There have been talks going on around about a potential change in ownership at the club, and many fans have responded to his tweet in a bitter manner.

Bet you charged him full price for the shirt

It wasn’t so great to see us lose though, your incompetence of getting in a shit manager ( twice) makes it even worse. #moyesout #GSBOUT
