Ollie Scarles burst onto the scene last season and has quickly become one of West Ham’s most talked about academy graduates.
However, with a change in management and new signings altering the pecking order at the London Stadium, the 19-year-old’s future is suddenly not uncertain.
Nuno Espírito Santo is ready to sanction the exit of the Scarles, as the manager prefers to use El Hadji Malick Diouf in the left-back position. Scars are primarily limited to reservations and cup minutes.
Potter described Scurls as a talent who “played the game as if he had been there before”, and supporters warmed to his early displays.

Nuno could try to make a move on Scurls immediately, citing a lack of youth minutes and the club’s evolving plans.
Former West Ham midfielder Martin Allen has suggested a move to the Championship is possible for the youngster.
Speaking exclusively to the West Ham zone, Allen said: “There is a possibility of loan movement.
“West Ham need 18 or 20 players in their squad and he is still young.
“He’s a good player and I’m sure he’ll play in every cup game, but I don’t know right now if he’s at Diouf’s level.
“Nuno wants to send him on loan. It’s good for his career to play in the Championship. Hopefully he will do very well.”
Skaar needs more playing time at the top level
For Skaal, the immediate priority is playing time. The most common path for a talented young man in his position is a carefully chosen loan where he can play week in and week out.
The youngster needs to be developed at this stage of his career and with limited opportunities at the London Stadium, he needs to be thrown into action at another club where he can build confidence, continue his development and gain valuable experience.
Nuno made a huge decision on one of the team’s best young players and if managed carefully he could become a huge asset for the Hammers.
