# Tottenham: Spurs could sign Scott for £20m

**Bristol City would ‘find it hard to resist’ a £20 million bid for Alex Scott with [Tottenham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) ‘pushing hard’ for his signature.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs eye move…

The Championship midfield sensation has been on Spurs’ radar since last year with[reports suggesting](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/spurs-pole-position-alex-scott-transfer-latest/) that the club’s scouts have been keeping a watchful eye.

Those links have [resurfaced](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11807383/West-Ham-join-Newcastle-Tottenham-race-Bristol-Citys-Alex-Scott.html) this month as the Lilywhites take a keen interest in Scott, who is [also wanted](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11807383/West-Ham-join-Newcastle-Tottenham-race-Bristol-Citys-Alex-Scott.html) by a plethora of other [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) clubs.

The Englishman is dazzling under Nigel Pearson at Ashton Gate with top flight sides[very impressed](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11807383/West-Ham-join-Newcastle-Tottenham-race-Bristol-Citys-Alex-Scott.html) by his Bristol City performances.

### The Latest: Tottenham ‘pushing hard’ for Scott…

According to [Football Insider,](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-tottenham-keen-on-signing-alex-scott-as-price-tag-revealed/) Spurs are now ‘pushing hard’ for Scott amid other interest.

They’re ‘firmly’ in the chase for his signing and while City value him at around £25m, it’s also believed they would ‘find it hard to resist’ a £20m offer.

Scott has just two years remaining on his contract, making the prospect of that figure pretty alluring.

### The Verdict: Phenomenon…

Called [‘unbelievable](https://twitter.com/MirrorFootball/status/1631209195092557825)‘ by Man City boss Pep Guardiola, the 19-year-old impressed him with a brilliant FA Cup display against the Blues in midweek.

Indeed, Scott blew away both Guardiola and esteemed members of the press during his side’s 3-0 defeat to the top flight champions.

Journalist Henry Winter explained how he is currently ‘[flourishing’](https://twitter.com/henrywinter/status/1630666157303668741) at Bristol, a statement backed by some excellent stats this campaign.

As per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/182/Show/England-Bristol-City), the teenager ranks in their top three for key passes made and successful take-ons per 90 – all while attracting more fouls per 90 than any of his teammates.

The latter stat perhaps backs his[comparisons](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/quitting-academy-to-shining-against-city-how-alex-scott-became-the-guernsey-grealish-dnjfmw7vc) with Man City record signing Jack Grealish, who is famous for winning free-kicks and frustrating opponents in that regard.
