Arsenal<\/a> have decided which midfielder to bid for if unable to sign Bruno Guimaraes, though Chelsea are weighing up whether to table a second bid for the player.<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/a> hope to round out their summer transfer window with major fireworks. The Gunners are exploring deals to sign Bruno Guimaraes<\/a>, Vinicius Jr<\/a> and Julian Alvarez<\/a> in what would be a spectacular triple coup.<\/p>\n

Guimaraes, 28, is their primary target in central midfield, and a full agreement on personal terms is already in place.<\/p>\n

Unofficial offers of \u00a355m and \u00a365m were laughed off by Newcastle, though Arsenal are primed to lodge an official bid worth \u00a370m.<\/p>\n

If, as expected, the Magpies say no, the Gunners may be forced into shifting their focus elsewhere.<\/p>\n

And according to CaughtOffside, the midfielder they\u2019ll try to sign if unable to land Guimaraes is Bournemouth\u2019s Alex Scott<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Per their report over the weekend, it\u2019s already been \u2018decided\u2019 at Arsenal that Scott is the player to go for if Newcastle keep Guimaraes.<\/p>\n

However, Chelsea<\/a> could torpedo Arsenal\u2019s plans, and after seeing a \u00a364m bid rejected, are considering whether to raise the stakes with a new proposal.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to Sky Germany\u2019s Florian Plettenberg who shared what he\u2019s hearing on X.<\/p>\n

Chelsea to bid again for Alex Scott?<\/p>\n

He wrote<\/a>: \u2018Understand Chelsea remain very interested in Alex Scott and are considering submitting a new bid.<\/p>\n

\u2018Chelsea\u2019s opening offer of \u00a364 million was rejected by Bournemouth<\/a>, who are determined to keep the 22 y\/o midfielder.<\/p>\n

\u2018#CFC More teams keen on him. Not only Chelsea. Pep Guardiola once called him an \u201cunbelievable player\u201d. Thomas Tuchel appreciates him a lot.\u2019<\/p>\n

Bournemouth don\u2019t wish to sell Scott, even despite the fact he\u2019s declined the opportunity to sign a new and improved contract on the south coast.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth are gearing up for their first ever European campaign and are adamant they won\u2019t sell. Nevertheless, Chelsea could test whether stance is concrete or just for show.<\/p>\n

Prior reports have claimed the Cherries internally value Scott around the \u00a380m mark. A bid of that size, or approaching that figure, would give Bournemouth a decision to make.<\/p>\n

A factor that could weaken Bournemouth\u2019s stance is Scott being keen on leaving the club and moving to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

The Evening Standard<\/a> recently stated: \u2018Alex Scott\u00a0is said to be keen on a move to\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0after the Blues saw a \u00a364million bid rejected for the\u00a0Bournemouth\u00a0midfielder.<\/p>\n

\u2018Standard Sport understands that while Scott wants to join Chelsea, Bournemouth insist that the 22-year-old is not for sale as they look to tie him down to a new contract.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal have decided which midfielder to bid for if unable to sign Bruno Guimaraes, though Chelsea are weighing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":787141,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[303504,463,3522,464,424,24663,3,1084,403,99],"class_list":["post-787140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-alex-scott","tag-arsenal","tag-bournemouth","tag-chelsea","tag-front-page","tag-home-page","tag-news","tag-premier-league","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/787140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=787140"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/787140\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/787141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=787140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=787140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=787140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
