West Ham United's failure to modernize has been laid bare in a damning report from The Athletic. The club ranks bottom in the Premier League for academy player usage, with ZERO minutes allocated to homegrown talent this season. To make matters worse, the Hammers field the second-oldest squad in the league—despite spending £140m in the summer transfer window.
Is West Ham's “Academy of Football” nothing more than a relic of the past? Why are clubs like Brighton, Liverpool, and Arsenal succeeding with academy integration while West Ham stagnates? And who should take responsibility for this crisis?
We break down The Athletic's analysis, share the shocking stats, and explore what needs to change at West Ham to prevent further embarrassment.
