Total Football Analysis have labelled Scott as ‘incredible’. He has also been described as an excellent player by Bristol City’s official website.

He’s a central midfielder by trade but can operate further forward in the number 10 position or even out on the right wing if need be.

Alex Scott is an incredibly gifted young player, and the ‘new Jack Grealish‘ apparently could be West Ham bound this summer.

If Moyes manages to get this one done, every Hammers fan should be very exciting indeed ahead of the new season.
