Report: Andoni Iraola now ‘pushing’ to get Liverpool deal done soon

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola is reportedly pushing for the club to complete a transfer for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott. Following a recent 3-0 defeat against Manchester City, the Reds are looking to strengthen their midfield options. Journalist Dom Smith reports that Liverpool could revive their pursuit of the former Bournemouth player during the January transfer window.

Bournemouth are reportedly open to offers exceeding £100m for a permanent deal, though a mid-season departure depends on their Premier League status. While Chelsea are viewed as frontrunners by industry insiders, writer Zak Anderton argues that Scott's prior experience in Iraola's tactical system makes him an ideal midfield target for Liverpool.
