Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has been given his first senior England call-up – something former boss Nigel Pearson predicted while they were together at Bristol City.
Pearson handed the 22-year-old his Bristol City debut in 2021 and worked with him for more than two years before Scott joined the Cherries in August 2023.
“No doubt about that I think he’ll play for England and I think he’ll go on to the top of the game,” Pearson told BBC Radio Bristol a month before Scott made the move.
England play Serbia on 13 November before making the trip to Albania three days later – will Scott earn his first cap to make Pearson’s prediction a reality?
