Alex Scott: Bournemouth complete signing of midfielder from Bristol City

Bournemouth have completed the signing of midfielder Alex Scott from Bristol City for a reported fee of £25m.

The 19-year-old has agreed a long-term contract with the Cherries and becomes manager Andoni Iraola's fifth signing of the summer.

Scott played three matches for England at the U20 World Cup in Argentina earlier this year.

"Alex is one of the most exciting young players in Europe," Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake said.

Scott trained with the youth teams of Bournemouth and Southampton before he played non-league football for Guernsey, with the Channel Islands his birthplace.

He was signed by Bristol City in January 2020 and went on to make 91 appearances for the Robins in all competitions, scoring six goals.
