West Ham United’s focus on nurturing young talent has led them to Scottish twins Cole and Dylan Williams, both 16, who are making waves in the youth football scene.
Currently at Airdrieonians’ Under-18s, the midfield duo has caught the attention of Premier League clubs like West Ham and Southampton, as well as their former club Celtic. Despite not featuring for Airdrie’s senior team, the Williams twins have shown immense promise, with their recent standout performance against Celtic highlighting their potential.
Julen Lopetegui’s side has struggled this season, sitting 14th in the league, and while first-team reinforcements are a priority for January, West Ham are also eyeing future stars to bolster their ranks. The Williams brothers are seen as long-term prospects who could eventually anchor the Hammers’ midfield.
Their short-term agreements with Airdrie make them attainable, and West Ham appear determined to secure their signatures despite competition. If signed, the twins could follow a pathway similar to other young talents who have risen through the ranks to shine in the Premier League. For the Irons, investing in promising players like Cole and Dylan could prove pivotal as they aim to build a sustainable and competitive squad for the future.
