Arsenal is in a four-horse race for Bournemouth star

Arsenal is reportedly monitoring Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott as they look to strengthen their midfield options. However, the Gunners face significant competition from Premier League rivals Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur, who are also interested in securing the midfielder's signature.

Bournemouth is unlikely to allow Scott to leave during the January transfer window, making a permanent summer transfer more probable. This timeline could benefit Arsenal, allowing them more time to assess their financial options and squad space before competing for his signature.
