West Ham and Crystal Palace ‘join the race to sign highly-rated Bristol City midfielder Alex Scott’…but Premier League sides are ‘reluctant to hit the player’s £20m valuation’ 19 years old.

West Ham and Crystal Palace are interested in signing Bristol City midfielder Alex Scott, according to reports.
The 19-year-old is a rising star in English football and has impressed with his performances for the Championship team this season.
Scott was linked with moving to the Premier League from Bristol City during the January transfer window, but a transfer did not materialise.
West Ham and Crystal Palace are believed to be the latest teams to show interest in the player before the summer, according to The Sun.
Bristol City are keen to receive £20m for Scott, but neither club is likely to hit that valuation.

Despite his young age, Scott has already made 78 appearances for City since joining from Guernsey in 2020.
He has also capped for three of England’s youth teams, having made his Under-20 debut earlier this season.
Scott has the ability to fill various roles in midfield and has been praised for his ability on the ball and quick feet, with five assists so far this season.
But with Bristol City currently 15th in the Championship, a move away appears to be on the cards if the club receives a significant offer.
Scott will return to action once more when City host Hull in the league next weekend.
