If anyone was ever destined to be a Premier League footballer, Freddie Potts would definitely be a name that comes to mind.
Joining West Ham United aged only six years old, he signed his first professional contract with the club in 2021 and made his senior debut against Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Europa Conference League of all places, albeit as an 87th minute substitute.
Potts was part of the squad in West Ham's Europa Conference League final win against Fiorentina in which they won and were handed their first major trophy in 43 years.
Born into a footballing family, his father, Steve Potts was a defender for West Ham and made nearly 400 appearances in his 17 years with the club, and is now their head coach at the U-23 level. His brother, Dan Potts also played for West Ham, Colchester United, Portsmouth, Luton Town and most recently, Charlton Athletic but was released at the end of his contract and is currently a free agent.
