CHAMPIONS LEAGUE finalists Inter Milan could hijack a Premier League transfer for Alex Scott.
Scott, 19, has impressed over the last two seasons with Bristol City, notching six goals and seven assists across 91 appearances.
This form has seen the midfielder catch the eye of a number of Premier League outfits, including Tottenham, West Ham and Liverpool.
However, according to a report from Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb, Inter are now “serious” about bringing him to the Serie A.
Scott has been estimated to have a value of £25million.
But the report states Inter could manage to negotiate this fee down to £15.5m.

However, Bristol City boss Nigel Pearson has previously insisted that Scott will not be allowed to leave the club for cheap.
He told Bristol World: “It’s got to be more than £25m, he shouldn’t go for less than that.
