Overview
- Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano said Arsenal spoke to Alex Scott’s agents and contacted Bournemouth to explore a possible move, with those conversations reported on June 17.
- Bournemouth are reported to be trying to keep Scott by offering a new deal that would include a release clause, preserving control over whether he leaves this summer.
- Media estimates of Scott’s price differ widely, with several outlets citing roughly £60 million and at least one report suggesting an £80 million valuation.
- Scott is a 22-year-old England-qualified midfielder who made 39 appearances and had five goal contributions in 2025–26 and whose current contract is reported to run until 2028.
- No formal bid has been confirmed and other Premier League clubs have been linked, so the coming days will determine whether Arsenal press an offer or Bournemouth complete a contract renewal.
