View: Scott Twine would be perfect for West Ham
West Ham are reportedly keeping an eye on MK Dons attacking midfielder Scott Twine who is enjoying a fabulous season.
According to ExWHUemployee, the Hammers are scouting the lower leagues, and they have earmarked the 22-year-old, who has dazzled in League One.
The Hammers have previously benefitted in signing players from the Championship, but there’s also a risk involved in plucking up talents from lower leagues.
Shinning in League One is one thing, doing it in the Premier League is another. And yet, there’s the example of Dele Alli, while the adage runs – if you’re good enough, you’re old enough.
Is Twine good enough? Indeed. In 30 league games, he has scored 13 goals and provided nine assists so far, and helped his side climb to third in the table.
Known for his ability to score “sensational” long rangers (his former side Chippenham Town specially released a video) and free-kicks, here is a player who can be a real deal in the future.
It is still unknown what sort of players David Moyes is actually looking at? The mega-bid for Raphinha, which was rejected in January, gives the impression that Moyes wants big-name players who can make an instant impact.
Twine doesn’t fall into this category. He could be a masterstroke signing for the club, based on his talent, but the Hammers need to be patient with him.
West Ham can also take a hard look at him in pre-season, and can send him away on loan if Moyes feels he is not yet ready for the first team.
