Andy Hinchcliffe says Tottenham Hotspur transfer target Alex Scott has got ‘everything’ to his game at Championship side Bristol City.
The former Premier League defender stated that a possible ‘£25 million’ fee for the midfielder is ‘nothing’ for those in the top flight.
On Tuesday night, Scott’s Bristol City came up against Manchester City in the FA Cup and he impressed despite his side’s 3-0 loss.
The player is being likened to a certain Jack Grealish, and when Scott shared that the £100 million player is his ‘favourite’, the Manchester City star told him that he is a ‘top, top talent’.
Nonetheless, that performance from Scott against the champions of England would have encouraged interested parties such as Tottenham even more.
And Championship expert Andy Hinchcliffe spoke highly about the player, as he told Soccer Special on Sky Sports (01/03/23 at 7:20 pm).
“He is 19, I first saw him when he was 17,” said Hinchcliffe “He has started 32 of 33 league games.
“Again, at 19 to be doing that. The maturity. The responsibility and quality he must have to play week in and week out speak volumes, for me.
“He can do everything. He can carry the ball. He’s got a pass. It’s a case of keeping hold of him. He can play anywhere. He is versatile.
“That is nothing (£25 million) for a Premier League team.”
TOTTENHAM NEED ATTACKING QUALITY IN MIDFIELD
Come the summer, the midfield will be one area Tottenham will look to bulk up, this was before Rodrigo Bentancur’s long-term injury.
What’s clearly missing is that attacking quality. Someone who can see a forward pass early. A player that likes to get into the pockets and carry the ball forward.
Now, Antonio Conte doesn’t play such a system that allows that, but will the Italian even be at the club next season?
Either way, Alex Scott is one to keep an eye out on because, whether it’s Spurs or someone else, the highly-rated teenager seems Premier League bound.
