West Ham join Newcastle and Tottenham in the race for £25m-rated Bristol City midfielder Alex Scott... after Man City boss Pep Guardiola hailed the teenager's performance in their FA Cup clash

West Ham United have joined the clubs that are keen on signing Bristol City teenager Alex Scott.

The 19-year-old midfielder earned plaudits from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola following his performance against the Premier League champions in the FA Cup on Tuesday night.

He has also been tipped to play for England by his own boss Nigel Pearson.

Guernsey-born Scott is already drawing comparisons with David Beckham and Jack Grealish - even being afforded the nickname 'the Guernsey Grealish' - and was the subject of offers from Wolves in January.
