Arsenal Join Liverpool and Man Utd in £80m Race for Bournemouth Midfielder Alex Scott

1 / 3

Arsenal have opened talks with Bournemouth over 22-year-old midfielder Alex Scott after his standout 2025-26 campaign. Scott featured in every league match but one as the Cherries secured a sixth-place finish and their first European spot. Mikel Arteta wants at least two major signings to boost his squad ahead of a Premier League title defence. He now faces competition from Manchester United, who have already spent on Ederson and still need midfield reinforcements, and Liverpool under new boss Andoni Iraola. Reports suggest Arsenal will bid around £50m–£80m for Scott, but they must move quickly in this three-way battle for one of the Premier League’s most in-demand talents.
