West Ham target Liverpool, Pep Guardiola says it’s ‘unbelievable’
West Ham are reportedly considering a move to sign Bristol City prodigy Alex Scott, while Liverpool are also interested in the league talent.
Irons are keen on a move for the 19-year-old midfielder as Premier League interest continues to build for Scott, with the youngster widely regarded as one of England’s top prospects.
Hailed as ‘incredible’ by Pep Guardiola, Liverpool are one of many sides eyeing Scott, but it’s West Ham who now look poised to make an opening bid for the teenager, who has been compared to the likes of Jack Grealish.
Born on Gurnsey Island, Scott is expected to become the latest Championship talent to move to the Premier League this summer, although it now looks likely that a move to East London is in line for the versatile midfielder instead from a link north of Anfield.
Indeed, Liverpool are clearly fans of Scott based on their recent ties to the teenager. However, West Ham could be a more ideal move for England’s youth international given David Moyes’ success in signing second-tier players and turning them into Premier League superstars, such as Jarrod Bowen.
Liverpool would do well to give up Scott if West Ham are interested.
Scott is well on his way to becoming one of the most exciting players in all of England, but missing out on signing the teenager may not be a total disaster for Liverpool given what the Reds are looking to do in the transfer market this summer.
Furthermore, West Ham are a more suitable club for Scott as Irons are in a better position to allow minutes for the 19-year-old and develop his talents into something incredible, with the player himself likely favoring a move to London. compared to Merseyside.
