Jacobs said on Twitter: “Alex Scott expected to leave Bristol City this summer, as revealed in December. Concrete proposals arrived in January, but Bristol City held out for near-double what suitors wanted. Going to take around £25m. Wolves and Tottenham very seriously looking. #NUFC one to watch.”

Scott has impressed in the league for Nigel Pearson’s side and even recently garnered praise from Pep Guardiola for his performance against Manchester City in the FA Cup. Scott netted against Blackpool on Saturday as he helped the Robins secure a 2-0 league win in the lunchtime kick-off.
