Fabrizio Romano confirms Arsenal enquiry for Alex Scott
Speaking on YouTube, Romano revealed that Arsenal initiated a conversation with Bournemouth to explore the conditions of a deal for the 22-year-old English midfielder.
This inquiry comes shortly after the North London club was knocked back in their pursuit of Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes, forcing Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal recruitment team to pivot to alternative targets.
Romano emphasized that Scott’s profile is highly attractive to elite teams, particularly because his homegrown status adds significant premium value for top English clubs.
Staying on midfielders — I wanted to mention Alex Scott from Bournemouth, one of the most interesting midfielders in the Premier League, and English, which is a plus especially for the English top clubs.
This is why Arsenal made a call — having already been knocked back recently on Bruno Guimarães — Arsenal also made a call for Alex Scott. A conversation with Bournemouth took place.
Bournemouth’s message: “We don’t need money — we’ve already sold many players over the last 12 months. We want to continue with Alex Scott.”
They’re offering him a new contract that could include a release clause for a future exit. So right now it’s difficult to get Alex Scott — there are still two months ahead, and we’ll have to see whether Arsenal or others try again.
But for now, Bournemouth’s position is to keep him; they received a call from Arsenal but aren’t moving forward at the moment.
