Telegraph: Premier League Midfield Market Inflated; Alex Scott Valuation Could Reach £100 Million
The Daily Telegraph reports that Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, 22, is being pursued by Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea despite the club insisting he is not for sale. Scott has rejected a contract extension offer, with his current deal running until 2028. Bournemouth has not set a price, but the Telegraph argues that in the inflated 2026 transfer market, Scott could be worth close to £100 million. The article cites comparable deals: Elliot Anderson (£116m), Sandro Tonali (£100m), Matheus Fernandes (£85m), and Morgan Rogers (£117m), all for midfielders. Scott joined Bournemouth from Bristol City for £25 million in 2023 and has made 80 Premier League appearances, scoring four goals. He was also called up to England's World Cup preparation camp.
