Bristol City sensation Alex Scott has suggested he could stay at Ashton Gate after scooping the Championship's young player of the year award.
A meteoric rise has seen the 19-year-old become one of the hottest properties in English football. Since arriving from Guernsey in 2020, Scott has starred in a struggling Robins side and attracted interest from Premier League clubs.
England call-ups at under-18, under-19 and under-20 levels have only added to the allure, with Everton reportedly one of the clubs monitoring his services.

As well as Everton, Newcastle United, Brighton and Brentford have also been named as possible summer destinations. Scott - valued at £25million - saw his contribution rewarded last month when he won the Championship’s young player of the year.
Speaking to Robins TV, he has since hinted that top-flight offers could be snubbed - insisting he is “looking forward” to next season. He said: “I’m buzzing. To get recognition from the fans is a special feeling.
"We’ve got so many top players here, it was very competitive and I am very happy to receive the awards. It’s been huge. It’s been massive for me. As a team, we’ve definitely progressed from last season.
“As a player on and off the pitch, I have progressed massively as well. I’m glad and I’m grateful to have played so many games and I’m looking forward to going again next season.”
