Newcastle United are joining interest in Bristol City youngster Alex Scott.

The midfielder, 19, has attracted interest from a host of top Premier League clubs after an impressive season under Nigel Pearson.

Alex Scott has been in sensational form for Bristol City

Scott was a target for Wolves in the January window, though the Championship club were thought to have slapped a whopping £25million price tag on the England Under-20 international.

Tottenham, West Ham and Crystal Palace are all tracking Scott's progress, while Newcastle scouts have kept a keen eye on his performances this term.

Scott has five assists for Pearson's City side so far this season and is emerging as one of the brightest young talents in the second tier.

The Robins, who sold striker Antoine Semenyo to Bournemouth in the summer, are braced for further interest in Scott this summer, says The Sun.
