It’s surely not beyond the realms of possibility that Andoni Iraola returns to Bournemouth to sign one of his former players.
And, according to talkSPORT’s chief football correspondent, Alex Crook, Alex Scott is “one to watch” on that front.
The 22-year-old midfielder is fresh off the back of an outstanding season with Bournemouth and, along with Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha, is currently training with the England squad ahead of the World Cup.
And asked about speculation linking Scott with a move to Anfield, Crook said on talkSPORT: “Yeah, that noise seems to be growing, and you can understand why because I think it was a problem last season for Liverpool, that midfield.
“[Ryan] Gravenberch and [Alexis] Mac Allister certainly weren’t on the same level, and Alex Scott is a player that Iraola knows well. I know Bournemouth are keen to tie him down to a new contract, but [it’s] certainly one to watch.”
