West Ham, The Hammers, The Irons, Alex Scott, David Moyes, Premier League
West Ham United are now serious contenders for Bristol City sensation Alex Scott as they become ‘firmly’ in the mix.
The Lowdown: Hammers make transfer plans…
Despite their status as Premier League relegation candidates, with rumours also having surrounded the position of manager David Moyes, it is believed West Ham chiefs are still making transfer plans behind-the-scenes.
There have been links to the likes of Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and West Ham are believed to have made an out-of-window offer to the player via his representative.
New targets are emerging consistently ahead of the summer with The Mail now sharing news on Scott.
The Latest: West Ham ‘firmly’ in Scott mix…
According to their information, West Ham are ‘firmly’ in the mix to sign him this summer amid interest from a plethora of other top flight sides.
This comes after head of recruitment Rob Newman was sent to run the rule over Scott this week, specifically during Bristol City’s 3-0 defeat to Man City in the FA Cup.
The Verdict: Very exciting player…
Scott is rated highly by both manager Nigel Pearson and Bristol chiefs.
The midfielder dazzled against City in midweek, prompting Pep Guardiola to call him an ‘unbelievable player’.
Such high praise from an elite boss like Guardiola should be plenty of evidence that Scott could be destined for stardom, as put by journalist Henry Winter, who claimed it is inevitable that the player makes a move to England’s top flight.
Scott is ‘flourishing’ at Ashton Gate according to Winter, as evident by the fact he currently ranks among Pearson’s best-performing players by average match rating (WhoScored).
