Defending Premier League champions Arsenal have reportedly made contact with Bournemouth for Chelsea target Alex Scott.
According to i Sport, Arsenal have made initial contacts with Bournemouth regarding the future of the 23-year-old, as his prospects of a January move away from the South Coast continue to increase.
Chelsea have been long-standing admirers of Scott and reportedly made multiple bids in the summer to secure his services ahead of clubs like Liverpool, who are said to still hold an interest in the midfielder.
However, the report indicates that Bournemouth are still reluctant to part with the Englishman, as they continue their quest to hold on to their best players.
Having joined Bournemouth from Bristol City in 2023 for a reported £20m, Scott has established himself as one of the Premier League's top young talents.
So much so, that the former Bournemouth youth player recently made his international debut back in September, with two caps to his name at the time of writing.
Despite his relatively young age, Scott has already amassed 85 Premier League appearances, scoring five goals and registering three assists in the top flight.
Injury issues have limited him to just six appearances across all competitions so far this campaign, but he has already registered three goal contributions within those matches.
With the winter transfer window approaching, Alex Scott's future is set to be one of January's biggest stories.
