Alex Scott Draws £60 million Interest from Manchester United and Arsenal

Manchester United and Arsenal are both monitoring Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, 22, as a potential £60 million summer signing. Scott impressed with a season‑long surge, including the winner in Bournemouth’s 2‑1 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates, and is under contract until 2028. Both clubs see him as a solution to midfield gaps; United are also linked with Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes following the anticipated signing of goalkeeper Ederson, while Arsenal value his technical ability and Premier League experience.

The prospective fee reflects the premium placed on young English midfielders, and a move would require Bournemouth to agree a substantial payment. Transfer discussions remain in early stages, with the clubs assessing whether the player fits long‑term strategic plans.
