Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has been linked with a move to Liverpool and a reunion with Andoni Iraola, but the situation may now have changed. He is just the complete package.

He gave us a lot of mobility and a lot of variety and work rate in the centre of the pitch.” Scott has been backed to join Liverpool plenty of times, especially since Iraola replaced Arne Slot, because the pair worked together at Bournemouth. In fact, he was “one of the main reasons” for Madrid having representatives present, with the report adding that they have seen him “at least three times, including Bournemouth’s Europa League victory over Real Sociedad in Spain last month.” Is Alex Scott Liverpool’s perfect midfield target?

Scott is such an impressive player, and the manner in which he has taken to interntional football further suggests that he could become an elite midfielder over time. He will cost a huge amount of money, at a time when the Reds must be careful about overspending on players, and he also isn’t the natural No.6 that they crave.
