Arsenal remain active in the race to sign Alex Scott from Bournemouth, with several clubs reportedly interested in securing the midfielder’s signature. The Cherries star has established himself as one of the most impressive midfielders in the Premier League over the last few seasons, attracting attention from teams looking to strengthen their squads.
Scott is being tipped to leave Bournemouth before the end of 2027, with uncertainty surrounding his contract situation. His representatives have not accepted an offer to extend his current deal, meaning the club could look to sell him rather than risk losing him without securing a transfer fee.

It remains unclear whether Bournemouth would be willing to let the midfielder leave during the January transfer window. However, there is an expectation that he will depart at the end of the current season, with interest from several leading clubs continuing to grow.
Arsenal are aware that they face competition from Chelsea and Liverpool, both of whom have also been linked with a move for the Bournemouth player. The Gunners have reportedly taken steps to strengthen their interest, with contact already made as they consider a potential transfer.
According to iNews, Arsenal are among the clubs making enquiries about Scott, with several teams already approaching Bournemouth over the possibility of signing him.

Uncertainty surrounding Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino could also create room for Scott to join the squad. If either player moves on, Arsenal may have an opportunity to bring in another midfielder without making their existing competition for places even greater.

Scott will want to join a club where he can continue developing and receive opportunities to play regularly. That could make his decision about a potential move particularly important, especially with several major teams competing for his signature.
Arsenal may therefore need to consider departures before they can convince the Bournemouth star that the Emirates is the right destination. Although the Gunners have made contact, they still have work to do if they want to win the race for his signature.
