Bournemouth have announced the signing of midfielder Alex Scott after agreeing a £25m package with Bristol City. The teenager had been a long-term target for Bournemouth, who he played for as a youngster. Scott has not featured for Bristol City this season because of a knee problem, which will probably rule him out until September. He becomes the third player to leave Bristol City for Bournemouth in recent months, following in the footsteps of Lloyd Kelly and Antoine Semenyo.

The 19-year-old won the Championship young player of the year award last season and was one of the most coveted talents outside the Premier League.
