Alex Scott has been outstanding for Bournemouth this past season, and he has been linked with multiple clubs recently.
According to Ben Jacobs, the Cherries are hoping to agree on a new deal with the player, and it remains to be seen whether he is ready to commit his long-term future to the club.
Alex Scott is a player in demand
Manchester United are expected to ‘explore a move’ for the 22-year-old central midfielder, and they will face competition from Arsenal and Chelsea. It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils make him an offer.
They need more control and technical ability in the middle of the park, and Scott could be the ideal acquisition. He’s a young player with great potential, and he has already established himself as a reliable performer in the Premier League. He will only improve with coaching and experience.
The opportunity to join Manchester United could be exciting for him. He would get to play in the UEFA Champions League with them next season. Meanwhile, the competition from Arsenal and Chelsea will only make any potential move difficult. Bournemouth will not want to lose the player easily, and Manchester United might have to pay well over the odds in order to convince them.

Scott will certainly look to sort out his future quickly so that he can focus on his football. The opportunity to play for a top club will be hard to turn down for him, and regular football in the Champions League could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential.
The midfield needs strengthening this summer, and Manchester United must make it a priority to sign a quality central and defensive midfielder before the window closes.
Meanwhile, Arsenal need an upgrade on Christian Norgaard. The 22-year-old midfielder could be an excellent option for them. Similarly, Chelsea has been overly dependent on Enzo Fernandez for creativity and control from the middle of the park. They need more depth in that area of the pitch.
