Arsenal are considering a move for Bournemouth’s Alex Scott, but the most likely outcome is that the player opts to stay where he is.
Alex Crook reports for talkSPORT that Arsenal are the latest club contemplating a possible move for Bournemouth’s Alex Scott, with the expectation that the deal wouldn’t come cheaply.
Crook claims Scott is currently in contract talks with Bournemouth, with a new deal containing a release clause perhaps the most likely outcome.
James Ducker recently reported for The Telegraph that Arsenal are interested in Scott, with Manchester United also keen admirers of the former England youth midfielder.
Scott was arguably one of the closer players to making Thomas Tuchel’s England World Cup squad, having been named on the provisional squad list before travelling to their pre-tournament training camp in Florida.
Ducker confirmed that Bournemouth are keen to keep Scott around and tie him to a new long-term contract. But the 22-year-old’s current deal lasts until 2028, so Bournemouth might change their stance if he refused to extend.
The midfielder played 39 times for Bournemouth in all competitions this season, helping them to qualify for the Europa League in 2026/27.
Bournemouth went on an 18-game Premier League unbeaten run to close out the campaign, notably winning Arsenal the league with their draw against Manchester City. Scott also scored against the Gunners in Bournemouth’s win at the Emirates Stadium in April.
It’s little surprise the top clubs are circling for Bournemouth’s best players, and this could be one to watch as the summer progresses.
