Alex Scott, Bournemouth midfielder, has rejected a new contract offer from the club amid strong transfer interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United, according to Sky Sports News. Bournemouth have made multiple offers since the end of the season, but Scott has indicated he is not willing to agree new terms. The Cherries do not want to sell the 22-year-old, who has two years left on his current deal, and have already turned down inquiries from the three Premier League clubs. Scott traveled with the England squad ahead of the World Cup. New Bournemouth manager Marco Rose expressed confidence in retaining Scott, along with fellow highly-rated youngsters Junior Kroupi and Rayan, as the club prepares for its first European campaign. Rose emphasized the importance of timing for young players' career steps and believes the players are happy at Bournemouth.
