Wolves: Old Gold receive Alex Scott transfer boost

Wolves: Old Gold receive Alex Scott transfer boost - Premier League News

Wolverhampton Wanderers have received a boost in their bid to sign Bristol City midfielder Alex Scott this summer.

The Lowdown: Wolves eyeing Scott

Wolves’ interest in Scott came to light during the January transfer window, at which point Bristol City were said to be asking for £12m, amid links to several other Premier League clubs.

This interest from elsewhere has not gone away, with it recently being reported that Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on the 19-year-old, so there is set to be stiff competition for his signature.

The Latest: Boost for Wolves

In what the Birmingham Mail report is encouraging news for Wolves, the youngster will not consider signing a new contract with his current club until the summer, indicating he could be an open to a move away.

However, it is also stated that the Old Gold were put off by a £25m valuation in January, contrary to the fee quoted in previous reports, and this price tag is unlikely to come down in the summer.

The Verdict: Worth it?

Bristol City boss Nigel Pearson has raved about the central midfielder, claiming he is ‘destined for the very top’, and he has really started to show signs of improvement this season, having amassed five assists, three more than he managed in the last campaign.

£25m is a huge amount of money for a young player who is unproven in the Premier League, but given how well he has done in the second tier, it may be worth Julen Lopetegui taking the risk, especially considering Ruben Neves is being linked with a move.

If Neves does decide to leave, Wolves will be able to command a big transfer fee for the Portugal international, allowing them to compete for Scott’s signature, and he is displaying that he has the talent to be a suitable long-term replacement.
