At the end of last season, Alex Scott delivered a calm and measured press conference that outlined his happiness at Bristol City, the pleasant surprise of playing so much football and the potential perils of making a move to a Premier League so early in your career.
True to his performances on the field and general in-game mentality, it spoke of an individual far beyond his 18 years, but also, at least on the surface, gave rise to the theory that of City’s three primary assets - Scott, Han-Noah Massengo and Antoine Semenyo - he is the one most likely to stay beyond this summer.
That theory is a sound one, based on Massengo’s contract situation, Semenyo’s to an extent - as the Robins do hold a one-year option which, slightly curiously hasn’t been taken up yet - and the weight in interest around the striker which, as the Adam Webster situation three years ago tells you, somebody at some stage will bid, that then can create a chain reaction of offers.
