Bristol City have declared that any club will have to pay a huge fee to sign Alex Scott.

The 19-year-old is one of the most impressive players in the Championship this season.

West Ham, Wolves, and Liverpool are among the teams vying for his signature. The Reds made a check on the weekend.

Bristol City boss Nigel Pearson stated to Bristol Live earlier this year: "Alex Scott for instance as a point of conversation, every player has a price.

"It will have to be one hell of a bid for him to go. I can assure you that Steve (Lansdown, the Bristol City majority shareholder), he doesn't want to sell players for the sake of it. It's not about that.

"I think Alex Scott's had two really good Championship seasons for us which is remarkable to say he's only 19 and he's been one of our most successful and consistent players but for somebody to get him away from here is going to cost a fortune so we're not going to undersell ourselves at all. And that's why it's important to get young players on long contracts.

"If we lose our players, we'll only lose them if it means we can facilitate the growth of our squad. Managers lose their jobs because you don't win enough games and you aren't successful enough. If you want to be a success and want to be a team that is challenging for promotion then you have to have a good enough squad. You can't have your cake and eat it so that's life."
