Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United are facing competition from Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur and David Moyes’s West Ham United for Bristol City midfielder Alex Scott, according to The Sun.
Newcastle, Tottenham and West Ham United eye Alex Scott
The report in the British tabloid has claimed that Newcastle, Tottenham, West Ham and Crystal Palace all want to sign Scott from City in the summer transfer window.
Wolverhampton Wanderers wanted to sign the teenager in the January transfer window, but they did not want to pay the £25 million fee that City want(ed) for Scott.
Newcastle are considering a move for the midfielder in the summer transfer window after their scouts were impressed by him.
However, Tottenham, West Ham and Crystal Palace all are tracking the youngster, according to the report.
Promising youngster
Alex Scott is one of the best young players in the lower leagues in England, and we are not surprised at all that Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Crystal Palace all have been impressed by the midfielder.
Now, of course, £25 million is a lot of money to pay for a 19-year-old player in the second tier of English football, and it will be interesting to see if Newcastle, Tottenham, West Ham or Palace are willing to cough up that much .
The City no. 7 has given four assists in 32 Championship appearances so far this season.
