"There is potential for a loan move away. West Ham do need 18 or 20 players in their squad, and he is still young. He is a good player, and I'm sure he'll play in all the cup games, but I'm not sure right now if he's at the level that Diouf is. Nuno would like to send him out on loan; it'll be good for his career to play in the Championship. Hopefully, he'll do very well."
"For Scarles, the immediate priority is playing time. The most common path for talented youngsters in his position is a carefully chosen loan where he can play week in, week out. The youngster needs nurturing at this stage of his career and due to the limited opportunities at the London Stadium, he needs to be thrown into the action at another club where he can build his confidence, continue his development and gain valuable experience."
Ollie Scarles has slipped down West Ham's pecking order following managerial change and new signings, with Nuno Espirito Santo preferring El Hadji Malick Diouf at left-back. Scarles is mainly limited to reserve and cup appearances, reducing his first-team minutes. Graham Potter praised Scarles as a talent who played the game as if he'd been there before, winning early supporter admiration. Martin Allen recommended a loan to the Championship to secure regular competitive action. A carefully chosen loan would provide week-to-week playing time, build confidence, and support development. Nuno must decide whether to send Scarles out to accelerate his progress or keep him within squad depth.
