Ashley Fletcher: England Under-20 striker joins West Ham from Man Utd

Ashley Fletcher helped Barnsley win promotion back to the Championship last season

West Ham have signed striker Ashley Fletcher from Manchester United.

The 20-year-old, who scored nine goals in 27 appearances while on loan at League One Barnsley last season, has signed a four-year contract after his United deal expired.

"I think West Ham is a club with a lot of ambition," the England Under-20 International told West Ham's website.

"They are a club built on traditions of giving youngsters a run and hopefully I can get my chance as well."
