Alex Scott is reportedly the subject of advanced talks between Arsenal and Bournemouth, who are negotiating terms ahead of a possible transfer. The midfielder has long been on the radar of Arsenal, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch. Progress on talks has been made, though a final agreement is not yet in place and other clubs are said to be weighing-up whether to join the race for his signature. While Arsenal and Bournemouth continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. Arsenal look balanced this season - 1.5 goals scored and 0.5 goals conceded per game. Alex Scott would be expected to bring control and consistency to help push them to another level. Arsenal have recently been linked with Zion Suzuki, Marcus Tavernier and Mohamed Belloumi while Bournemouth have had no rumoured targets. Want to see how the story develops?
