West Ham looks to miss out on another target, with Wolves closing in on a deal for the Bristol City starlet and England Under 20 international Alex Scott.
Wolves have seen two bids turned down by the Robins – with the latest offer believed to be worth around £ 20 million and now believe of £25m will secure the player’s signature. 6foot2 understands that West Ham is interested in Alex Scott and has been tracking him for some time but they did not submit a bid.
It was the same situation with the former Coventry striker Viktor Gyokeres who West Ham also had a strong interest according to 6foot2 sources.
Last week Sporting Lisbon signed the Hammers target for £ 20 million, Gyokeres scored 23 goals in 50 appearances last term to help Coventry to the Championship play-off final, where they lost to Luton on penalties. Coventry did not officially disclose the transfer fee received for the 25-year-old – but a percentage of the fee will be due to his former club, Brighton.
It’s old story every summer window.

Let’s hope the Academy lads who did so well down in Perth can step up in the coming season 🤞
