David Moyes should hand a start to talented youngster Ollie Scarles for West Ham United against AEK Larnaca tonight.

The 17-year-old West Ham youngster has already really impressed for the senior side, when he made his debut at the end of last year against FCSB in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage finale.

Let’s be honest here, Moyes could field an entire second-string team and we should still be able to beat AEK Larnaca with ease.

And I think the Scot should give the club’s most talented young player a big chance tonight…

In my opinion, Scarles is the most talented young player to come through our academy since Joe Cole.

He has actually been described as an ‘outstanding’ talent by Cole.

He undoubtedly has a really bright future ahead of him, and we should all be very happy that he recently committed to a new long-term deal.

The 17-year-old undoubtedly has a hugely exciting future at the London Stadium. He has everything needed to be a top-class left wing-back for West Ham, or even a central midfielder.

And now Moyes needs to start him against AEK Larnaca.

I believe that Ollie Scarles is more than ready to be given a big chance for West Ham against AEK Larnaca tonight.

Whether Moyes is ready to give him that chance remains to be seen though.
