West Ham and Crystal Palace are interested in Alex Scott’s transfer as Bristol City impose a £20m price tag on the 20-year-old

WHIZKID Alex Scott has been slapped a £20million price tag on the head by Bristol City.

Many pundits were surprised when the England U20 midfielder didn’t make a move last month.

Crystal Palace and West Ham are among those who have recently been looking for Scott, 19.

But both likely won’t match the Robins’ rating in the summer window.

Bristol welcomed the signing of Anis Mehmeti from Wycombe in January on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

And despite the Premier League’s interest in Scott, the midfielder is looking forward to partnering with Mehmeti.

Scott said: “From what I’ve seen, he’s a special player.

“I think even on the first day when he came in and we saw a little bit of each other in the way we dribble.

“We’re very similar, I think he’s a lot more direct. He will dribble at you and make you look silly.

“Obviously his degree is ridiculous and that’s definitely to come. The fans can be excited about it.

“He’s a great kid off the pitch and over the past few days we’ve built a good relationship with each other and that will only help us on the pitch.

“I think we have a bit of respect for trying things together on the pitch.

“He’s an exciting player that the fans will obviously love to see.”
