Bournemouth have announced the signing of Alex Scott from Bristol City.

The 19-year-old has put pen to paper on a "long-term deal" at the Vitality Stadium, joining for an undisclosed fee thought to be worth around £25m - a club-record sale for Bristol City.

Scott arrives having been named the Championship Young Player of the Season last term, with his performances also earning him a spot in the Championship Team of the Season.

Tottenham Hotspur, Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United were among the clubs that had been linked with a move for the highly-rated midfielder, but Bournemouth have now won the race for his signature.

However, Scott will have to wait to make his debut for his new club due to a knee injury he sustained in training recently, which the medical revealed was "more significant than initially reported".

"We are delighted to welcome Alex to the club, who is one of the most exciting young players in Europe," said Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake.

"He's a player that has vast experience at such a young age with strong technical ability and a really good footballing brain.

"Alex will be an excellent fit in our system, and we're excited to see him continue to develop under Andoni [Iraola]'s management."

Scott scored five goals in 91 appearances for Bristol City during his three years at the club and was part of the England side that won the European Under-19s Championship in 2022.

The youngster, who will wear the number 14 shirt, becomes Bournemouth's fifth summer signing and will join up with his new teammates following a period of rehabilitation from his knee injury. body check tags ::
