Premier League bigwigs Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly rekindled their interest in 22-year-old Bournemouth midfield sensation Alex Scott.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Alex Scott is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. The Lilywhites are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder next year. So, the 22-year-old Bournemouth midfield sensation has re-emerged as a target for the North London club after they chased him before he moved to the Vitality Stadium.
Alex Scott and his career so far
Alex Scott has established himself as one of the best young midfielders in the Premier League since joining Bournemouth from Bristol City in a deal worth £25 million in August 2023. A native of Guernsey, the Englishman spent his formative years in his hometown before rising in prominence during his spell with Bristol City.
However, Scott’s stock has skyrocketed since joining Bournemouth over two years ago, as he has gone from strength to strength in his short stint in the Premier League. The 22-year-old has made over 50 appearances thus far for Bournemouth while chipping in with three goals and four assists.
Scott’s exploits for Bournemouth have helped him break into his national squad, earning his first call-up this month. Meanwhile, the English midfielder’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs, with Tottenham Hotspur among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.
London calling?
Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Alex Scott is understandable. The North London club wanted to sign the young midfield sensation before he joined Bournemouth from Bristol City in a deal worth £25 million two years ago. They have since continued to monitor his progress closely at the Premier League club.
The continued interest makes sense, as Yves Bissouma has no future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Several candidates, including Joao Gomes, have thus emerged on the North London club’s radar, with Scott also a viable target due to his age profile and experience in the Premier League.
However, the Lilywhites are unlikely to launch a bid to sign the 22-year-old Englishman anytime soon, even though they will continue to track his progress. Meanwhile, it will be surprising to see Scott leaving Bournemouth for a cut-price fee, and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the young midfielder.
