Who is Alex Scott? Many are keen to know more about the Bristol City wonderkid as Tottenham and Leeds attempt to sign him.
It was Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports who claimed that the 19-year-old is wanted by Antonio Conte and Jesse Marsch.
According to John Percy of the Telegraph, Wolves are also interested – however, Bristol City are demanding £25m.
So, who is Alex Scott? Let’s take a look…
Who is Alex Scott?
Well, if you hadn’t already heard about Scott, we are sure you’ll know all about him soon – Jacobs believes a move to the Premier League is likely this month.
The teenager has shone in central midfield for the Robins this season, starting 25 of Bristol City’s 26 Championship games after becoming a key cog in Nigel Pearson’s setup at Ashton Gate.
Scott has provided five assists in those 25 outings – according to data from WhoScored, he also impressively averages 2.4 tackles per game.
In terms of a comparison to a more household name, the Bristol City No.7 has been likened to Jack Grealish.
That may be down to the fact Scott wears his socks low and close to his ankles like the £100m Manchester City maestro, although their dribbling skills and passing ability are also quite similar.
Born in Guernsey, the versatile midfielder – who can play deeper, or closer to the striker – has been dubbed The Guernsey Grealish.
Scott has represented England at Under-18, Under-19 and also Under-20 level. Surely, a call up to the England Under-21 squad isn’t far away if he continues his rapid progress.
