Scott, 19, starred in the Championship for City last season but shot into the limelight after a bright display against Manchester City in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
These performances saw the midfielder – who has been likened to City and England star Jack Grealish – tipped for a move to Premier League.
SunSport revealed how Tottenham were interested in a move for the teenager in March.
While Julen Lopetegui's Wolves also submitted multiple bids to try and land Scott.
