Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal are all reportedly keen on signing AFC Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott this summer.
The 22-year-old has caught the attention of three of English football’s biggest clubs following a string of promising performances in the Premier League last season.
According to Caught Offside, both Manchester United and Arsenal have already held talks to enquire about the details of a potential deal for the Bournemouth star.
Bournemouth have placed a valuation of around £60m on Scott, reflecting their determination to hold onto one of their most prized assets.
The Cherries are reluctant to sell, with Scott’s existing contract running until 2028, and the club are even willing to offer him a fresh long-term deal to secure his future at the Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth have a strong recent track record of developing top talent, with players including Dean Huijsen, Ilya Zabarnyi, Antoine Semenyo, Milos Kerkez, and Dominic Solanke all flourishing under former manager Andoni Iraola.
Scott emerged alongside Eli Junior Kroupi, Rayan, and Adrien Truffert as one of the standout performers at the Vitality Stadium during the most recent campaign.
Manchester United are actively reshaping their midfield this summer following Casemiro’s departure, having already agreed a deal in principle with Atalanta to sign Ederson.
However, Tottenham have entered the race for Mateus Fernandes and are reportedly prepared to match West Ham United’s £85m asking price, which has pushed United toward alternative midfield targets including Scott.
Spurs had a difficult campaign last season and are now backing new head coach Roberto De Zerbi heavily in the transfer market, with midfield reinforcements a clear priority after strengthening their defensive options.
Arsenal’s interest is similarly driven by midfield concerns, with Christian Norgaard having struggled to nail down a regular starting spot during the previous season.
With three top-six clubs now circling, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Bournemouth can retain Scott or whether a £60m offer eventually proves too difficult to turn down.
