Arsenal has turned its attention to Alex Scott, a promising midfielder from Bournemouth, as they seek to bolster their squad. After facing rejection in their pursuit of Bruno Guimarães, Arsenal initiated discussions with Bournemouth regarding Scott, who is considered one of the most intriguing talents in the Premier League, especially given his English nationality.

We don’t need money — we’ve already sold many players over the last 12 months. We want to continue with Alex Scott.” This indicates their commitment to retaining the young midfielder.

In an effort to secure Scott's future at the club, Bournemouth is preparing to offer him a new contract, which may include a release clause to facilitate a future transfer.

With two months remaining in the transfer window, the situation remains fluid, and it remains to be seen if Arsenal or other clubs will make another approach for the talented midfielder.
