Wolves have been linked with Bristol City midfielder Alex Scott recently and Matt Hobbs should look to bring him to Molineux after his superb performance in the FA Cup at the weekend.

John Percy of The Telegraph claimed in the early stages of January that Wolves had "been in talks" with Bristol City over a move for the midfielder, although may have to pay £25m in order to secure a deal.

Julen Lopetegui's side have already brought in Matheus Cunha, Pablo Sarabia, Craig Dawson, Mario Lemina and Daniel Bentley this month, and could potentially return to Ashton Gate ahead of Tuesday's transfer deadline.

If Wolves do retain an interest in signing the 19-year-old this month, there is no doubt that scouts will have been in attendance at Bristol City's impressive 3-0 win over West Brom on Saturday and if they were, they will have been very impressed with Scott's performance.

As per Sofascore, the talented midfielder would earn a superb 8/10 rating for his display, which ranked him as the best outfield player on the pitch from both sides.

The teenager would make it 2-0 in the first half after Mark Sykes' assist, while he also contributed two key passes, one big chance created and an impressive 91% pass accuracy during the FA Cup tie.

Following the game, Nigel Pearson made a bold claim about the youngster, suggesting that he believes that it won't be long before we see him in a Three Lions shirt.

He said: "Such is my faith in Alex that I believe he could go on to play for England."

Suddenly, the Robins' £25m asking price does not seem so excessive and it could prove a shrewd investment by the Old Gold, especially given the lack of homegrown talents currently in Lopetegui's squad.

Scott has long been tipped for the top, with pathway manager Brian Tinnion singing his praises when he broke into Bristol City's senior squad as a 17-year-old.

He commented: "His work rate and his desire to learn has been unbelievable. To start every single Championship game so far as a 17-year-old is excellent.

"He has every single attribute you would want in a professional footballer. He can tackle, he’s great with both feet, he can head the ball, his delivery is good and his overall quality is great.
"He lets his football do the talking and he’s getting better all the time. We are really excited about his future." Saturday's strong performance was not a one-off for Scott, as he boasts four assists in the second tier so far this campaign, averaging a strong 6.81 rating from WhoScored in his 27 appearances thus far. Therefore, with time running out before the deadline and Scott's reputation only expected to grow, Wolves should definitely consider a move for the teenager this month.
