Alex Jay Scott

AFC Bournemouth are now open to selling Arsenal target Alex Scott in the January transfer window, though only if they receive a very large bid for the midfielder.

Thomas Tuchel said this week that Alex Scott is competing for Declan Rice’s spot with England, but the Arsenal-linked Bournemouth midfielder has now been ruled out with a long-term injury.

AFC Bournemouth are set to hold onto Alex Scott until next summer, with Arsenal among three top Premier League clubs still interested in signing him.

Alex Scott has turned down a contract extension offer from Bournemouth, but the club remain committed to keeping him amid interest from Arsenal and others.

Bournemouth have rebuffed an enquiry from Arsenal over Alex Scott, insisting the player is not for sale, and attempting to extend his contract.

David Ornstein has confirmed that Arsenal have held internal talks over a potential move for Bournemouth’s Alex Scott, amid suggestions he would cost £60m.

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.

Arsenal are one of the clubs interested in Alex Scott of Bournemouth, though the player’s current club aren’t keen to sell him this summer.
