Bournemouth have reportedly had a £15m bid rejected for Bristol City midfielder Alex Scott.
The 19-year-old has caught the attention of a number of clubs after impressing during his 42 appearances for the Robins last term.
Alongside Bournemouth, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers have both been linked with Scott, while there has also been interest from Inter Milan.
According to Sky Sports News, the Cherries have stepped up their pursuit with a £15m bid plus add-ons, which was subsequently turned down by Bristol City.
With two years left to run on Scott's Bristol City contract, the Championship side are holding out for at least £25m.
Despite failing with their initial offer, Bournemouth are believed to leading the race to secure the player's signature.

As for fellow Premier League club Nottingham Forest, they have reportedly tabled an offer for PSV Eindhoven midfielder Ibrahim Sangare.
With the East Midlands club looking to bolster their midfield options, Sangare has emerged as one of their top targets.
They have held an interest in the 25-year-old for over a year, but they decided against making a move last summer due to the player's asking price.
According to The Athletic, Forest have reignited their interest in the Ivory Coast international by submitting a formal offer to PSV.
Sangare signed a new long-term contract last summer until June 2027, leaving PSV in a strong position when it comes to discussing a transfer fee.
The Dutch club are hoping to receive a £30m (€35m) fee for Sangare, who has previously been linked with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
