Opinion: England international hints that he might want to emulate Liverpool legend

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott named former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard as England's best midfielder during a blind-ranking feature for his club's social media channels. Scott ranked Gerrard ahead of Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes, David Beckham, and Owen Hargreaves, sparking speculation regarding his potential interest in a future permanent transfer to Anfield under new Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola.

Liverpool spent over £150 million in the summer transfer window after Iraola replaced Arne Slot, but the club chose not to recruit a central midfielder. Scott previously played under Iraola at Bournemouth and has been consistently linked with a move to Liverpool alongside Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara.
