The 18-year-old is also said to be on the radar of fellow Premier League clubs Everton and West Ham United.
Braund has also watched the Guernsey-born attacking midfielder in action for England 19’s when they beat their Swedish counterparts in November. On that evening in Stockholm Scott impressed providing two assists, one of which was to Spurs forward Dane Scarlett.
Scott has made 29 appearances inside the Championship, scoring three and assisting a further two more (transfermarkt).

Scott, who can also play as a wing-back, right and central midfielder is under contract at Ashton Gate until 2025.
