Alex Scott's season is giving Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool a reason to watch closely. Bournemouth have been contacted by all three clubs about the 23-year-old England midfielder, and his numbers this season are solid enough to keep him in the conversation. He has 5 Premier League appearances, 453 minutes and 1 goal, while his contract runs until summer 2028.
Scott's season at Bournemouth
The Premier League return is still only a small body of work, but Scott has not been on the edge of the team. Those 453 minutes suggest Bournemouth have trusted him in meaningful spells, not just late cameos, and the goal adds a bit of end-product from midfield.
His European form gives the interest another layer. Scott delivered a 7.58 rating and 1 assist in his Europa League outing this season, a sharper return than his league rating of 6.83. That split helps explain why bigger clubs are circling again, because it points to a player who can lift his level in a different setting.
Bournemouth's position in the deal
Bournemouth do not have to rush this one. Their last five matches across the Premier League, Europa League and League Cup have all been wins, and they sit seventh in the Premier League with 15 points from 10 matches. That is a decent platform for them, and Scott's contract until summer 2028 gives the club leverage.
So the interest is real, but the pressure is not on Bournemouth's side. Scott's performances are the reason the chatter has returned, yet the contract length means any move will need serious intent rather than quick noise. Right now, the clear story is that he has put himself back in view for three of the league's biggest clubs.
