Liverpool Reportedly in 'Driving Seat' for Midfielder Alex Scott Amid Transfer Speculation
Bournemouth sources suggest Liverpool has a strong advantage in the pursuit of midfielder Alex Scott, with a potential £100 million valuation.
Liverpool has emerged as a strong contender to sign midfielder Alex Scott, with sources close to Bournemouth indicating the Reds are in the "driving seat" for the player. While Chelsea has been the most active suitor, submitting bids up to approximately £68 million in the summer, Liverpool's interest has reportedly intensified.
Reports suggest Bournemouth might be willing to soften their stance on selling Scott in the January transfer window, potentially valuing him at around £100 million. Scott, who impressed during the recent international break, is currently sidelined with a muscle injury.
In other team news, sources close to Dominik Szoboszlai have downplayed fears of a serious injury, suggesting the midfielder is not facing a lengthy absence.
Additionally, Giovanni Leoni continues his recovery from a cruciate ligament injury sustained on his debut over a year ago. He is expected to remain out for at least a few more weeks before returning to first-team training.
Recent performances have also seen Bradley Barcola score a hat-trick against LASK, marking his first goals for Liverpool. Young striker Will Wright is also reportedly nearing first-team contention after consistent performances for the club's youth teams.
