West Ham Pull Plug on League One Switch for Young Prospect Over High Loan Fee
West Ham changed their minds over a deadline day loan move for their attacking prospect Domingos Quina, just moments before it was due to go through.
The 18-year-old was all set for a temporary switch to League One outfit Scunthorpe United, report the Daily Mail. However, West Ham's recruitment team - led by Tony Henry - pulled the plug on the deal because the Hammers wanted Scunthorpe to pay a 'substantial' loan fee for Quna.
Having only featured for the first team in Carabao Cup games this season, the Portugal Under-21 international is said to have had his heart set on the move in order to get regular first-team football.
