Alex Scott, 19, is someone who has been heavily linked with a move to West Ham over the past year or so – and most recently just a couple of months ago.

I think that Bristol City youngster would be a tremendous addition for the Hammers. However, it seems as though Moyes will have his work cut out if he is to sign him this summer…

West Ham know how much Alex Scott will cost

The Daily Mail reckon that the Hammers owners know they’ll have to pay £25 million to secure the services of the talented teenager.

Total Football Analysis have labelled Scott as ‘incredible’.

He’s a central midfielder by trade but can operate further forward in the number 10 position or even out on the right wing if need be.

Scott bagged four goals and two assists in 38 Championship games for Bristol City in the 2021/22 season and this term, he has one goal and five assists to his name (Transfermarkt).

The youngster is an attacking midfielder and seems to glide along the turf with grace and panache, much like Manchester City star Jack Grealish does.

Scott possesses exceptional technical ability and in spite of his tenders years, he already has impressive physical strength.

Alex Scott would be a stunning signing for West Ham. Let’s just hope that we manage to beat the likes of Bournemouth and Wolves to his signature this summer.
