“As for Alex Scott, he’s a participant Spurs have scouted closely and spoken about and the 18-year-old has acquired a good bit of curiosity in him in the meanwhile.”
The teenage midfielder has already made 45 appearances for the Robins, through which he has contributed 4 targets and two assists, so it’s no shock that groups from the highest flight are taking an curiosity.
Ought to Spurs signal Scott?
Sure
No
Spurs have a historical past of signing younger English attacking midfielders from the decrease divisions, as Alli was as soon as famend as one of many high prospects in world soccer.
After becoming a member of from MK Dons, the Englishman contributed 66 targets and 60 assists in 268 appearances for Spurs. Nonetheless, his type in latest seasons dropped considerably, with the 25-year-old by no means in a position to rediscover his performances from the 2016/17 season, when he managed 18 targets and 7 assists within the Premier League.
It isn’t apparent why this occurred, however a drop in confidence and angle points have been cited as a possible motive for his disappointing type, which led to him becoming a member of Everton earlier this 12 months.
Nonetheless, if Scott’s former supervisor Tony Vance is to be believed, then Scott should not have any bother adjusting to the calls for of the Premier League and has an especially brilliant future forward of him.
He stated: “He’s acquired all the proper attributes when it comes to nothing fazes him. He delivers at no matter degree you play him at. We put him in as a really younger 16-year-old at our degree of soccer after which we couldn’t depart him out of the staff, to be sincere.

Whereas it could be daring to counsel that Scott may have a right away affect as Alli did, he appears to be a high prospect, and if he can keep angle and work price, there appears no motive why he couldn’t surpass the Everton man’s legacy at Spurs.
