Liverpool are among several Premier League clubs monitoring Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, though any deal remains unlikely in January. The BBC reports that Marco Rose’s side will not entertain approaches or talks until their league objectives are clarified or become unrealistic.
The 23-year-old England international, whose contract expires in summer 2028, is described by Opta as a combative box-to-box midfielder defined by his work rate and defensive discipline. He recorded 184 tracking runs back to his original position last season—more than any other Premier League player.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola worked with Scott at Bournemouth and reportedly maintains a positive relationship with the player. The interest comes as the club continues to evaluate their midfield options, with Lamine Camara also on their radar for January reinforcement.
Bournemouth’s reluctance to negotiate now places interested clubs in a position where Scott’s contract situation could work against them in the market. Liverpool and others may be tempted to wait, or step back entirely rather than risk overpaying for a player who will enter the final year of his deal next summer.
