Upon signing for West Ham United, Dju commented on why he chose to move to the East End club.
“I know a lot about West Ham because it is a very big club in England and helps young players get to the first team,” he said.
“I want this and I’m working for this.”
Academy Director Terry Westley compared the youngster to Michail Antonio, calling him a ‘dynamic player’.
