The midfielder for Bristol City is a “top talent”…
Ange Postecoglou, manager of Tottenham Hotspur, might begin his tenure in London with a bang by completing the signing of Bristol City teenager Alex Scott.
Tottenham have put time and attention in Scott’s development this year, according to writer Dean Jones, who spoke to GIVEMESPORT, and could now try to make a move to lock up a deal with the transfer season in full force.
“Alex Scott is one of the stories to look out for this summer,” he said. He has previously been linked with a number of Premier League clubs, including Tottenham and Leeds, but no one appears to be willing to pay the £25 million that Bristol City are asking for him.
Scott has been dubbed the “Guernsey Grealish” due to his striking resemblance to City phenom Jack Grealish, and his performance against the Sky Blues set him apart from the crowd, earning a Sofascore match rating of 7.0 after succeeding with four of his five attempted dribbles and winning 11 of his 15 attempted duels.
Given that Manchester City’s £100 million man has also stated that Scott is a “top talent,” he appears to have the approval of a man regarded and admired as one of the Premier League’s most naturally talented players, capable of frightening opponents with his gliding gait.
This season, he averaged a league rating of 6.83 while making 40 starts, scoring one goal and providing four assists, completing 79% of his passes and making 1.8 tackles per game.
According to FBref, considering that he ranks among the top 11% of midfielders in Men’s Next 8 divisions for progressive carries and the top 17% for successful take-ons per 90, he might very well follow in the footsteps of Grealish as he continues his meteoric climb.
Grealish, on the other hand, ranks among the top 3% of attacking midfielders and wingers in Europe’s top five leagues for progressive carries per 90 over the past year, highlighting the elite company Scott finds himself in.
While Tottenham have failed in their efforts this season, finishing eighth and guaranteeing an absence from European participation has dealt a blow to prospects of better fortunes.
Scott’s acquisition might be a watershed moment, ushering in a new age of wealth for a proud football club desperate for silverware.
