New head coach Andoni Iraola has joined the club on a two year contract very soon. The Spanish manager looks completely ready to raid his former employers to get a familiar face.

TalkSPORT insider highlights massive tactical shift for prospective Merseyside signing
Interestingly, the young midfielder actually supported the North London club as a boy. Iraola must squeeze the absolute best out of a recent four hundred and fifteen million pound spree. That massive squad investment brought in elite stars like Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Milos Kerkez. The Reds also hold interest in one hundred million pound RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande.
Transfer insider Alex Crook told talkSPORT that the noise around this specific deal is growing quickly. He explained that midfield consistency was a glaring problem for the team last season. Existing players like Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister certainly were not on the same level throughout the tough campaign. Bournemouth still want to secure Scott on a new contract.
The player himself recently shared glowing praise for the manager. Scott described his former boss as a great manager who helped them progress over three seasons. “I think the way we press out of possession is very aggressive,” Scott stated during an interview. He compared the fierce style to early Klopp teams and said fans should be excited.
