Wolves have improved £22m offer for Bristol City's Alex Scott rejected
Wolves have had a £22m bid for Bristol City midfielder Alex Scott rejected as they try to fend off rival bidders Bournemouth.
After having an opening proposal of £18m knocked back earlier this month, Wolves have returned with an improved offer but have still not been able to make a breakthrough in negotiations with the Championship outfit.
Bournemouth also bid £15m last week, but Bristol City want at least £25m before parting ways with one of their brightest prospects.
Scott is still only 19, and had an impressive campaign at Ashton Gate last season, making 42 league appearances.
He has also attracted interest from West Ham and Italian giants Inter Milan, although Wolves and Bournemouth appear to be leading the race for his signature at the moment.
Neither club has been able to agree a fee with Bristol City, though, as they look to strengthen their midfield ranks.
Bournemouth are also in talks with AZ Alkmaar over a £15m deal for Hungary full back Milos Kerkez.
Newcastle, Leicester and Leeds have been among the clubs monitoring Kerkez over the past 12 months, but Bournemouth have stepped up their interest as they aim to get a deal over the line.
The teenager scored five goals last term, and featured 11 times in Alkmaar's run to the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League before they were eliminated by eventual winners West Ham.
