Orient fans on twitter and their forum seem to think we're signing their 18 year old midfielder Steven Alzate. Played 12 times, scoring 1 goal for them last season.

I like the look of him. Positive, confident, tricky, strong in the ball.

Should be good in the defensive wall then.

Certainly has a potential and worth a punt at Dev Sq level. Like most at his age he is still a bit of work but I can see why we would be interested

Another lost to the DS. I'd say sign him and loan him back to Orient for the season.

My Orient supporting colleague basically said we should 'go away' [ahem]...

It's nice that a side-effect of our rise through the leagues is we can cherry-pick Orient's prospects and just stick them into the development squad.

In other news, looks like an NSCer posted on the wrong site by mistake.

Looks like he could definitely become an established midfielder in the top leagues of he continues to progress.

Eighteen years old - so that'll be five years in the DS then. Unless we move him on before that.

How long before this development squad works and starts producing first team players or players we can sell for a profit?

By the way, not knocking it, just asking. We sign a lot of good players who play good level 1st team and they then spend a huge amount of time playing behind doors and reserve team football and none have actually come through.......March maybe?

Looks very useful, and only 18. Could be our Dele Alli, you never know.

Haven't had a chance to watch all the 9 mins of highlights but looks too good to let another team snap him up!

Lewis Dunk.

We have sold quite a few of our youngsters over the years including Rob Hunt recently to Oldham.

Looks like a prospect, this kid. But "Alzate can operate as an orthodox striker or on either wing. He made a dozen appearances in League Two last season for Orient, where he has been from under-13 level." according to the Argus. Looks much more like a number 8/10 to me.
The new Dele Alli?

I hope they can find a shirt to fit him - he'll get lost in that one!

Unfortunately some of our fans are so arrogant, they greet this news with comments like, When are we going to sign a real player? I can understand the Orient fans getting upset.
We've come so far but we shouldn't forget where we've come from.
