Bristol City are believed to be looking for £30m to part ways with Scott, and manager Nigel Pearson recently discussed the youngster's future.
"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," he said.
Scott is capable of playing anywhere through midfield and has even been deployed as a winger on occasion, though is naturally a number eight.
