Bournemouth<\/a> have rejected an enquiry from Arsenal<\/a> for Alex Scott and say the midfielder is not for sale this summer.<\/p>\n

The Premier League champions want to sign a new central midfielder, with the 22-year-old understood to be one of their targets.<\/p>\n

Scott is also attracting serious interest from other Premier League clubs, including Manchester City<\/a>, Manchester United<\/a>, Tottenham<\/a> and Chelsea<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Bournemouth<\/a> have communicated their intention to keep the former Bristol City player<\/a> and are keen to agree an extension to his current contract, which has two years left to run.<\/p>\n

Scott was selected in his first England squad last November and was then called up into Thomas Tuchel’s extended pre-World Cup training camp in Florida, though he did not make an appearance.<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/a> have also explored moves for Newcastle<\/a> pair Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali<\/a> in their search for a new midfielder.<\/p>\n

A move for Guimaraes is currently rated more likely with Tonali’s price believed to be a stumbling block.<\/p>\n

North London rivals Tottenham<\/a> are advancing in their efforts<\/a> for a move for Tonali and are growing in confidence of securing a move for the Italy midfielder.<\/p>\n

West Ham<\/a>‘s Mateus Fernandes and Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi have also been monitored by Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bournemouth have rejected an enquiry from Arsenal for Alex Scott and say the midfielder is not for sale…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":665022,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-665021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=665021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/665022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=665021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=665021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=665021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
