Nigel Pearson says Alex Scott's temperament and maturity to continue performing at such a high standard despite outside transfer noise is one of the reasons why he is destined for the very top.
The 19-year-old midfielder has consistently performed at high levels throughout the season but his individual showings in City's last two victories over West Brom and Preston have only emphasised the remarkable talent the club have on their hands. Given the rapid rate of his progression, Scott has not been short of transfer interest over the last 12 to 18 months.
Wolves threatened to test City's resolve in January but fell short of the club's £25million valuation with the club having security over Scott's contract which expires in 2025. However, there are plenty of top-flight clubs scouting and monitoring his progress as he continues going from strength to strength.
