West Ham want to sign Bristol City midfielder Alex Scott
West Ham are reportedly keen on signing Bristol City midfielder Alex Scott.
According to ExWHUemployee, the Hammers have been keeping an eye on the 18-year-old English midfielder.
Scott has played 26 games in the Championship this season with a return of three goals and two assists.
Discussing players are looking to sign in the summer on the West Ham Way podcast, Ex said, “Alex Scott, who plays for Bristol City, is a midfielder who’s only 18. He’s been labelled the ‘Next Jack Grealish’, the ‘Guernsey Grealish’.”
One for the future
There are teenagers that are setting the world alight in the lowe leagues and Scott certainly is among them.
David Moyes and West Ham have liked to dip their toes into the Championship to make first-team signings.
They did that with Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma, so the interest in Scott comes as little surprise.
He may not be a household name among West Ham fans, but one does not get compared to Grealish without having something special about them.
Football League World even labelled him “phenomenal” after he made the four-person shortlist for the 2021 Betway Channel Islands Sports Personality of The Year award.
There is something to admire about Scott’s game whenever he steps onto the field of play and signing him on a cheap and loaning him back to Bristol next season would not be the worst idea in the world.
