Not Eli Junior Kroupi! Bournemouth open to selling Tottenham target in January

AFC Bournemouth are reportedly open to selling midfielder Alex Scott during the January transfer window if their valuation of around £100 million is met and their Premier League status remains secure. The 23-year-old England international has reportedly rejected two contract extension offers as he seeks to join a club competing in European competitions, alerting potential suitors including Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

Tottenham previously saw a late summer bid for Scott rejected by Bournemouth. While Scott is a boyhood Tottenham supporter, writer Rohan Sengupta suggests a Spurs move remains unlikely given Bournemouth's high asking price, manager Roberto De Zerbi's existing midfield depth, and the club's poor start to the season.
