Alex Scott has been linked with a move away from Bournemouth in the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old has had a fantastic season with the Cherries and is attracting attention from top clubs. According to team talkManchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea have all made inquiries about the English midfielder, but Bournemouth say they have no intention of letting the player leave.
They offered him an attractive new contract, but the player turned it down. This growth will be a huge boost for clubs looking to sign the player.
There is no doubt that the 22-year-old has what it takes to play for one of the country’s biggest clubs and could be an asset to all four clubs.
Manchester United need more control and composure in the center of the park and Scott certainly fits that profile. However, they have already invested in several central midfielders and will need to consider signing a defensive midfielder first.
With Christian Norgaard expected to leave Arsenal due to lack of playing time, the 22-year-old Premier League midfielder could be the ideal replacement. The opportunity to play for the Premier League champions could be exciting for Scott.
On the other hand, it’s no surprise that Liverpool are interested in him. They need more quality play in the middle of the park and players like Alexis Mac Allister have been linked with sending off. Furthermore, Andoni Iraola worked alongside the Scot at Bournemouth and it is no surprise that he is now keen to reunite. The chance to play again under his former manager could be attractive for the young midfielder. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can make a deal.
Finally, Chelsea are also monitoring him. Enzo Fernandes is the club’s only creative central midfielder and they need more depth in that area. Scott is one of the Premier League’s most talented young midfielders and could be an asset to the Premier League.
