Alex Scott has been linked with Liverpool for several months but the links to the 22-year-old intensified following the appointment of Andoni Iraola as Liverpool head coach. The Spaniard is preparing to take charge for his first season at Anfield after replacing Arne Slot at the end of the 2025-26 Premier League season, but it will take time for Iraola to get his ideas across to the Liverpool squad.

“Bournemouth are offering a new contract to Scott, they’re really pushing for the player to stay with a release clause. They made some approaches to people close to the player.” Signing Scott is not the be-all and end-all for Liverpool, but losing him to Arsenal specifically will be a blow as they already have terrific strength in depth and will be very confident next season after finally lifting the title.
