West Ham academy coach Carlton Cole has hailed the past season for the club.
Cole praised manager David Moyes for his work, while also reporting on the talent coming through the youth system.
He told whufc.com: "This season's gone particularly well.
"We've achieved more than I maybe expected at the start of the season, given that we had the Europa League – I didn't think we would finish so high, in truth, when you've got a small squad and you're playing two games a week.
"It was quite interesting to see how David Moyes would balance the whole team, and he's done it brilliantly. I'm very proud of all the boys.
"They've all applied themselves to the challenge accordingly and efficiently, so it's been a particularly great season for West Ham.
"I'm in the thick of things over at the Academy and I've seen the exciting things happening there.
"Having some of the lads making their debuts this season, especially in Europe, has been quite eye-opening to see – they know they can step up now.
"Maybe some of them could go on loan next season and get some more first-team experience, or make the step-up and become part of the first-team squad and impress David Moyes. That's what we hope."
