Arsenal targets Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott for summer addition
Summary

Arsenal is interested in signing Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott as they prepare for the next Premier League season. Manager Mikel Arteta aims to enhance the squad's depth, particularly in support of Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi. Scott, who impressed during the last campaign, has also attracted the attention of Manchester United. Bournemouth, however, is keen to retain him. Scott received his first senior England call-up last November and trained with the national team recently. While Arsenal considers other options like West Ham's Mateus Fernandes, Scott remains a primary target for the Gunners this summer.
