Bournemouth change stance on Alex Scott and it could just pull Tottenham back in the race

Bournemouth have shifted their stance and are reportedly open to selling midfielder Alex Scott in the January transfer window, potentially reviving Tottenham Hotspur's interest. The 23-year-old England international has pushed for an exit and turned down two contract offers. Bournemouth are now willing to sanction a permanent sale if an interested club meets their £100m valuation, provided the team is not embroiled in a relegation battle.

While Chelsea and Liverpool are reportedly leading the pursuit, Tottenham, Manchester City, and Manchester United could rejoin the race after stepping back over the summer. Scott is noted to be a boyhood Tottenham supporter, though Chelsea and Liverpool have maintained strong contact with his representatives.
