On Sunday afternoon a muttering around social media seemed to claim Tottenham Hotspur had made a breakthrough in an attempt to sign Alex Scott.
Granted, it was a couple of so-called fan social media accounts that claim they are 'in the know'. Even so, it was speculation that was worth keeping one close eye on and considering Spurs' links with Bristol City's wonderkid in the past, understandably it would cause even the smallest cause for concern that Antonio Conte had stepped up their chase for the 18-year-old.
After all, it was only last month that reports came from Football Insider that Tottenham had completed a 'dossier' on Scott with background checks being concluded on the player.
