Hammers boss David Moyes will be desperate to bolster his midfield ranks at the London Stadium this summer.
Alex Scott is someone who the West Ham manager has been linked with for quite some time now.
The Bristol City youngster is a really exciting young talent, so it’s no surprise that the Hammers might face competition from Liverpool for his signature this summer…
Liverpool to challenge West Ham for Alex Scott
The Daily Mail reckon that Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is keen to bring the Bristol City teenager to Anfield before the start of next season.
That’s a real shame for the Hammers. I would absolutely love to see Moyes bring the 19-year-old starlet to the London Stadium.
Total Football Analysis have labelled Scott as ‘incredible’.
Scott bagged four goals and two assists in 38 Championship games for Bristol City last season and this term he has one goal and five assists to his name in 37 games (Transfermarkt).
The youngster is an attacking midfielder and seems to glide along the turf with grace and panache.
Scott possesses exceptional technical ability and in spite of his tenders years, he already has impressive physical strength.
The Robins have a history of getting top dollar for their players from Premier League clubs.
Brighton had to agree a club record £22m to prise Adam Webster away while Lloyd Kelly’s move to Bournemouth is worth up to £20m.
The likes of Josh Brownhill, Bobby Reid and Aiden Flint were also only allowed to leave Ashton Gate for significant fees.
And it seems as though it will be no different this time around with Bristol City demanding £25 million for the 19-year-old (The Sun).
I feel like that price would represent exceptional value for the Hammers.
However, with Liverpool in the race for Alex Scott now, it will be really hard for West Ham to bring him to the London Stadium this summer.
