Hammers defender Sam Byram has shown off his impressive ball skills by taking on Barcelona star Neymar’s ‘wall challenge’.
The craze emerged only recently after the Brazil superstar called out a number of his fellow international’s – including Philipe Countinho and Ronaldinho – on his instagram to complete the ‘white wall challenge’.
The challenge involves keeping the ball up against the wall while controlling it with a ‘rabona’ style touch, and Byram is latest of a number of football players worldwide to take on the task.

Amongst those to post videos of their attempts are Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus, Real Madrid’s Marcelo and Neymar’s Barca team-mates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. David Beckham has also been addressed with a challenge, yet such a video is yet to appear.
While Byram managed only a score of one, we think it’s still a good effort seeing as the man himself Neymar – who has been heavily linked with a move to PSG this summer – managed just three.
Good effort, Sam.
