Sport nationWest Ham United Set Sights on Scottish Teen Sensations, Poaching Celtic Targets
West Ham United are reportedly eyeing a double signing of Scottish teenage midfielders Cole and Dylan Williams, potentially snatching them from under Celtic’s nose.
According to Sun journalist Alan Nixon, the Hammers and Premier League rivals Southampton are leading the race for the 16-year-old Airdrie twins, who have impressed with their electrifying form.
“Cole and Dylan recently stood out against Celtic at youth level, and the Parkhead club is taking a big interest,” Nixon stated. “However, Saints and Hammers have sent scouts to Scotland twice in recent weeks and seem to be heading the race.”
The Williams twins have garnered attention for their exceptional talents. Cole is described as a dynamic midfielder with excellent vision, passing accuracy, and leadership qualities, while Dylan is an attacking talent with pace, skill, and a willingness to take on defenders.
West Ham’s interest in the twins aligns with their stated goal of rebuilding the team around young, exciting players. Technical director Tim Steidten and manager Julen Lopetegui have emphasized the need for youthful energy, despite the current squad’s advanced average age.
Securing the Williams twins would not only bolster West Ham’s future prospects but also send a strong message about the club’s commitment to developing young talent. Celtic, meanwhile, would be frustrated to miss out on the promising duo.
Key Points:
- West Ham United target Scottish teenagers Cole and Dylan Williams
- Celtic also interested in signing the Airdrie twins
- Southampton joins West Ham in leading the race for their signatures
- Williams twins impress with exceptional midfield and attacking skills
- Signing would align with West Ham’s goal of rebuilding with young talent
As the January transfer window approaches, West Ham’s pursuit of the Williams twins will be closely watched, with Celtic and Southampton also vying for their signatures.
