Dagenham & Redbridge are set to sign West Ham United teenager Josh Pask on loan, according to HITC.

The 18-year old will arrive at Victoria Road as manager Wayne Burnett looks to bolster his defensive ranks and he sees the promising centre-back as a viable option, despite his lack of experience.

Pask is rated very highly at the London side and his coaches have decided that a loan move would be best for his development. The Daggers are seen as an ideal place for Pask to develop and take the next step.

New Hammers manager Slaven Bilic has previously stated that he wants to give youngsters the chance to impress in the first team, so Pask will be hoping that some strong performances in League Two will catch the eye of the Croatian.

The Daggers are struggling in Sky Bet League Two and currently sit in 23rd position in the division, having amassed a mere eight points from 12 league games.

Burnett's side have only managed to win one game in their last ten attempts in the league.
