Each week, we ll be firing some of football s true need-to-know questions towards promising products of the Academy of Football.
This week, it s the turn of 20-year-old goalkeeper Joseph Anang.
Quick Fact: Born in Ghana, Anang moved to the United Kingdom in his mid-teens and made his England U20s debut as a second-half substitute in a 3-0 win over Iceland U20s in November 2019. The shot-stopper has admitted to starting his footballing life as an outfield player – but joked he went in goal after not turning out to be a great centre-back!

Oladapo Afolayan – one of four West Ham United loanees to feature for their respective clubs – took a giant step towards promotion from League Two this weekend.
The 24-year-old had been involved in 13 wins in the 18 games he had played for Bolton prior to Saturday, but faced his biggest test yet as the third-placed Trotters travelled to fourth-placed Morecambe with just a point’s difference between the two teams then.
With three teams claiming automatic promotion from League Two and four games of the season remaining, both Bolton and Morecambe were aware that Saturday’s result could have a significant baring on the outcome of their respective seasons.

West Ham United shared its views and those of its supporters expressing vehement opposition to the proposal for a Super League at a Premier League meeting held on Tuesday morning.
Following a meeting between senior Club officials and the Independent Supporters’ Committee within 24 hours of the news breaking, Vice-Chairman Karren Brady met with representatives from 13 other Premier League clubs to share the Hammers’ unequivocally strong disapproval of a proposal by six clubs to create a breakaway league that undermines our values and those of the game we all hold so dear.
As a Club that was founded by working-class shipbuilders over 125 years ago, is deeply rooted in its own community and is acutely aware of the traditions of English football, we passionately believe that there should be no barrier to supporting West Ham United and these proposals go entirely against the integrity of our Beautiful Game.
