Sources: West Ham forward Daniel Cummings agrees to join Aldershot

The 20-year-old Scotland U19 international will join the National League side on loan to gain senior experience after arriving at West Ham from Celtic in 2025.

West Ham forward Daniel Cummings has agreed to join Aldershot Town on loan, sources have told Football Insider. The 20-year-old Scotland Under-19 international will make the short-term switch to the National League outfit, with all parties having reached an agreement.

Cummings joined West Ham from Celtic in 2025 but has yet to make a senior appearance for the Hammers. The move to Aldershot is seen as an ideal next step for his development, allowing him to gain first-team experience. The National League club identified him as a leading target given their goalscoring issues this season.

Cummings has an impressive goalscoring record at youth level, including a brace in last month's National League Cup win for the Under-21s, and West Ham will monitor his progress with his long-term future in mind.
