Frederik Alves: U23s put a lot into Tottenham defeat
West Ham United defender Frederik Alves was happy to play his first game in Claret and Blue on Friday evening, completing a full match for the U23s against Tottenham Hotspur U23s.
The Denmark U21 international joined the Hammers on 2 January for an undisclosed fee from Danish club Silkeborg, for whom he made 48 senior appearances after joining as a youth player from Brazilian side Coritiba.
Having had a few weeks to bed into life in England, Alves started Friday's match and produced a largely assured display alongside Jamal Baptiste in central defence.
