7M - Alex Scott rejects Bournemouth contract as Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea circle

Alex Scott has been linked with a move away from Bournemouth during the summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old had an impressive season with the Cherries and has attracted attention from a host of top clubs. According to TEAMtalk, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea have all made enquiries about the English midfielder, but Bournemouth are unwilling to let him leave.

They have offered him an attractive new contract, but the player has turned it down. That development will come as a huge boost for any club looking to sign him.

There is no doubt that the 22-year-old has the quality to play for the biggest clubs in the country, and he could be an asset for all four sides. Manchester United need more control and composure in the middle of the park, and Scott certainly fits the profile. However, they have already invested in a couple of central midfielders and should prioritise signing a defensive midfielder first.

At Arsenal, Christian Norgaard is expected to move on due to a lack of playing time, and the 22-year-old Premier League midfielder could be the ideal alternative. The opportunity to play for the league champions could be an exciting prospect for Scott.
