Youngster Ford Set to Join West Ham - Ipswich Town News
Academy striker Sam Ford is set to join West Ham following his recent trial spells with the Hammers.
Ford’s two-year scholarship is up at the end of the season and TWTD understands that the former Felixstowe Academy pupil will not be offered new terms by the Blues.
But the 17-year-old has impressed West Ham, where former Blues' youth coach Liam Manning is now on the staff, during his time on trial and is to join the East Londoners.
Last month Ford netted while playing for the Hammers' U18s in a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa and he was on target again earlier this week for their U21s in a 1-1 draw with Wolves.
