Sources: Chelsea and Man United battle for English midfielder known for his passing accuracy
Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott is catching attention from top Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United.
The Bournemouth playmaker has enjoyed a steady rise over the past two seasons and now the biggest clubs in the world are taking notice of his performances, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.
At just 22 years old, Scott has already established himself as one of Bournemouth’s most dependable performers.
His calmness on the ball, ability to read the game, and tireless work rate have helped him stand out in a highly competitive Premier League environment.
While Bournemouth have enjoyed moments of progress this season, much of their midfield balance has revolved around Scott’s influence.
The youngster has made 33 appearances in the league for Andoni Iraola’s side this season.
Alex Scott is built for the big stage after impressive season
Scott’s statistics tell part of the story, but they don’t fully capture his overall influence. Featuring in 34 matches this season, he contributed four goals and one assist, but his value goes well beyond attacking output.
With an 84% passing accuracy, he has consistently shown the ability to retain possession and move the ball intelligently, a crucial trait in today’s fast-paced Premier League.
What really sets Scott apart is his versatility as a true box-to-box midfielder. He’s comfortable receiving the ball deep, driving forward through midfield, and linking play between defense and attack.
That ability to carry the ball over distance has made him particularly effective in transition phases, a skill that many modern top clubs prioritise when building midfield units.
Chelsea and Man United to battle for his signature
Chelsea’s reported interest fits their long-term strategy of building a strong English core in midfield.
With uncertainty surrounding certain midfield roles and ongoing squad reshaping, Scott’s energy and technical ability make him an attractive addition.
Man United, meanwhile, are also exploring ways to refresh their midfield, especially as they plan for the gradual transition away from experienced players like Casemiro.
Among Bournemouth supporters, Scott is widely viewed as the future face of the club, a player many believe could one day captain both club and country.
Yet there’s also a realistic understanding that exceptional performances eventually attract attention from bigger sides.
Sources close to the club suggest that offers in the region of £50 million could start serious discussions, with the total potentially climbing toward £60-65 million if multiple clubs enter the race.
