West Ham transfer target Jordan Rhodes hit FIVE goals for Huddersfield tonight - in front of a string of Premier League scouts.
As many as EIGHT top flight clubs are reported to have had representatives at Wycombe tonight to check the progress of the 21-year-old Scot, who is said to have been the subject of a £4million transfer bid from West Ham earlier in the week.And Rhodes put on a fantastic display which will no doubt leave West Ham facing stiff competition for his signature, scoring all but one of the Terriers' goals in a 6-0 win - and all within a 50-minute spell (the other goal coming from Oscar Gobern who opened Town's account after 10 minutes).
The striker has now scored 27 goals this season in just 24 appearances - including hat-tricks at Exeter and Huddersfield plus a four-goal haul just three weeks ago at Sheffield Wednesday.
Earlier in the day Rhodes had been named as the npower League One Player of the Month.
"I am not surprised that Jordan has won the award as he was outstanding," said Huddersfield boss Lee Clark, who insisted yesterday that Rhodes will remain at the Alfred McAlpine Stadium for the rest of the season.
"It is not just his goals; his overall performances have been of the highest quality. He has looked like an international player."
