Nigel Pearson has warned interested clubs will have to 'pay a lot of money' to sign Alex Scott amid rising transfer speculation. Newcastle United are among the Premier League sides to recently be credited with an interest in the Bristol City wonderkid.
Scott has emerged as a regular starter for the Robins this term, and was one of several stars to impress during the FA Cup fifth-round defeat to Manchester City on Tuesday night. A brace from Phil Foden along with Kevin de Bruyne's strike sealed a 3-0 victory for the top-flight champions at Ashton Gate, but Pep Guardiola praised their Championship opponents for their performance.
A recent report from Football Insider claimed the Magpies were leading the race for Scott this summer, with the young midfielder said to valued at £25 million by the Robins. Leeds United and Tottenham are both reportedly long-term admirers of the 19-year-old, with West Ham and Wolves also linked.
