ALAN Curbishley is reported to be weighing up a bid for one of the hottest young talents outside of the Premier League, writes Alex Sexton.
The West Ham boss has been handed glowing reports about the form of Barnet youngster Albert Adomah and is considering making a bid to bring the 20-year-old to Upton Park.

The attacking midfielder has notched up five goals in 18 appearances this season at Underhill and has produced performances of a consistently high standard for the League Two side.

The Hammers would face fierce competition for his signature, with Tottenham, Manchester City, Bolton and Sunderland all ready to make summer offers for the young star.

Don't know anything about him to be honest but I agree with Sam, we've got plenty of youth already here.

I have a soft spot for Barnet and I'm glad one of Barnet players is in centre of attencion.

West Ham face competition from Plymouth and Manchester City to land Barnet's Albert Adomah.

The 20-year-old, signed from Ryman Premier L eague club Harrow Borough in January, has scored five times from midfield in 18 games for the League Two Bees.

But any Hammers swoop for Adomah could be scuppered by City or Argyle.
