Tottenham Hotspur and Man United have discovered how much they will have to pay to land Alex Scott from Bournemouth this summer.
Spurs are wasting no time in strengthening their squad this summer after two back-to-back 17th-place finishes, and they could soon turn their attention to their midfield department.
It has been widely reported that Spurs are considering a move to bring Alex Scott to N17, having been extremely impressed with his growth at Bournemouth.
It was suggested previously that Tottenham could face competition from Chelsea for the young midfielder, but another Premier League side have now emerged as the Lilywhites’ biggest competitors in the race for the 22-year-old.
Tottenham and Man United are battling it out for Alex Scott
GiveMeSport have now claimed that Spurs and Man United could go head-to-head for the England international’s signature this summer.
Both clubs were left extremely impressed by Scott’s development last season and view him as one of the possible next breakout stars from the Premier League.
United have already made enquiries over the availability of the former Bristol City man, with the Red Devils wanting to add two midfielders to their squad.
It is revealed that Bournemouth would demand £60m to consider selling their midfield starlet after the season he just had.
Spurs may have one advantage over Man United in Scott race
GiveMeSport suggest that Tottenham may hold one advantage over Michael Carrick’s side in the transfer race, as the Bournemouth man grew up supporting Spurs.
Over the last couple of years, Scott has repeatedly admitted that he grew up supporting Tottenham and that the Lilywhites still hold a special place in his heart.
However, with Man United able to offer the 22-year-old a Champions League spot, it remains to be seen if Scott’s head or heart wins out this summer.
