Diego Poyet González (born 8 April 1995) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for West Ham United. He began his career at Charlton Athletic, where he was their 2013–14 Player of the Season despite not featuring in the first team until January. In July 2014, he was signed by West Ham.

Poyet has played for England at under-16 and under-17 levels, while also being eligible to play for Uruguay through his father Gus Poyet.

Club career

Charlton Athletic

Having started his career at Charlton Athletic, Poyet progress through the club's academy and by May 2013, Poyet signed his first professional contract.

Poyet made his professional debut on 21 January 2014 in a 3–0 FA Cup third-round win over Oxford United, entering the match as an 81st-minute substitute for Dale Stephens. He made his first league start for Charlton on 1 February in a 2–1 defeat away to Wigan Athletic. After making these appearance, manager Chris Powell expected Poyet to make more appearance.

Despite only becoming a regular in the team in February and playing just 20 league games, Poyet's performances led to him being named Charlton's Player of the Year for the 2013–14 season.

On 26 June 2014, Charlton announced that Poyet had indicated that he would not be signing an extension to his contract ending on 1 July 2014, and would be exploring his options elsewhere.

West Ham United

Poyet joined West Ham United on 8 July 2014, signing a four-year contract with West Ham and Charlton reaching a settlement for compensation. His father, Gus, manager of Sunderland, was also keen to sign Poyet, but backed away, citing fear of nepotism which could have caused conflict in the dressing room.

On 23 August he made his debut, against Crystal Palace, coming on in the 83rd minute for Mauro Zárate in a 3–1 away win. Four days later he started for the first time, playing the full 120 minutes and scoring in the penalty shoot-out as West Ham lost at home to Sheffield United in the second round of the League Cup.

On 7 November 2014, Poyet joined Huddersfield Town of the Championship on a one-month youth loan until 6 December 2014. He was signed by Powell, his former manager at Charlton. The day after he signed, Poyet was an unused substitute as Huddersfield lost 3–1 away at Fulham. He made his début on 22 November at the John Smith's Stadium, playing the full 90 minutes in a goalless draw against Sheffield Wednesday. He played the next game against Bolton Wanderers, but was not included in their 2-1 win over Brentford, and returned to West Ham at the end of his loan.

International career

Born in Spain to Uruguayan parents, Poyet was raised in England after his father, Gus, signed for Chelsea in 1997. He is eligible to play for any of these three countries. In January 2014, Poyet stated that he considered himself English but would not turn down an opportunity to represent Uruguay.

Poyet has represented England at under-16 and under-17 levels and was selected to take part in an England under-19 training camp in May 2014.

Poyet received his first call-up to the England under-20 squad for a match with Romania on 5 September 2014, but withdrew from the squad before the game. Head coach Aidy Boothroyd subsequently stated that "Diego hasn't decided whether he wants to play for Uruguay or not so, rather than wait for him to make his mind up, we have decided to leave him to it".

Personal life

Poyet is the son of Gus Poyet, a former Uruguay footballer and the current manager of Premier League side Sunderland. With his father signed to Real Zaragoza, Poyet was born in Zaragoza in 1995.
