Latest under our scout's gaze is Brentford's
Simon Moore.
The scout reports...
We are on the trail of Brentford's outstanding young goalkeeper Simon Moore, who is being tipped for the top.
It has been some time since we have done a goalkeeper, but it's fair to say we have picked out a gem in the shape of 22-year-old Moore.
Isle of Wight-born Moore began his career with Southampton's youth side but, having failed to make it, he returned home and began playing for his local side Brading Town.
He then moved onto Farnborough before in the summer of 2009 linking up with Brentford on trial. He did enough to persuade them to hand him his first professional contract.
He had to wait until May 2010 to make his debut and later that year was sent to Basingstoke Town on loan. It was not until early January 2012 that he really got his chance and he has never looked back.
Earning rave reviews, Moore was recently handed a new long term deal, committing his future to the club to 2016 as a number of clubs begin to take an interest.
Moore is a tall, but extremely agile figure who is so quick to cover the ground and get down to shots. He has excellent presence knowing which areas it is best to parry any shots away to.
But his shot-stopping is probably his main ability - his reach is huge and often pulls off some sublime stops.
The scout says...
Is a top young keeper, and it surely won't be long before a big club comes calling. Having seen current England number one Joe Hart emerge from lower league hopes will be high Brentford could have a future international on their hands.
Moore has shone in the last 12 months for Brentford, and his progress will only continue whilst he is getting first-team football.
