Premier League Heavyweights Lead The Race For Bournemouth Star Alex Scott

Arsenal and Man United are the joint-favourites in the Alex Scott next club odds market here on BetVictor.

Scott sparkled for Bournemouth last term and helped the Cherries to a record-breaking sixth-placed finish. Which is the best in the club’s entire history. The central midfielder is widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in England’s elite and naturally, has a growing list of admirers.

After his hugely successful 2025-26 campaign, Scott was rewarded with a place in England’s preparation camp ahead of the 2026 World Cup. And if a move to one of the Premier League’s ‘Big Six’ materialises this summer, the 22-year-old will surely be a prime contender to make the Three Lions Euro 2028 squad.

And with that in mind, BetVictor News takes a closer look at the leading contenders to sign the former Bristol City star.

Alex Scott Next Club Odds: Arsenal And Man United 3/1

Arsenal and Man United are the current favourites in the Alex Scott next club odds market. The Premier League giants are both available at 3/1 which provides a strong level of value for those who believe the Emirates or Old Trafford will be his next destination.

The Gunners and Red Devils interest has reportedly peaked owing to the fact Scott won’t sign new terms at the Vitality Stadium. Something of which Bournemouth are hoping to remedy but it appears unlikely at this stage.

With that said, our traders remain quietly confident a move to London or Manchester is the likeliest outcome. Mikel Arteta has plenty of midfielders already on board but Scott’s attributes certainly complement the ‘Arsenal way.’ As for United, they are embarking on UCL football this term and Scott offers the kind of quality Michael Carrick is seeking.

Bournemouth Reject Chelsea Bid For Alex Scott

As per various sports outlets, Chelsea had a £64million offer for Alex Scott knocked back. The Blues are in the process of revamping their squad under new boss Xabi Alonso. The Spaniard has recently spent £117m on England attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers.

However, it appears unlikely at this stage that Scott will join the Stamford Bridge revolution. Other suitors include Newcastle, Liverpool, Tottenham, Man City and Aston Villa. Therefore, meaning it’s more than apparent the midfield maestro will be staying in England’s elite for 2026-27.

Why Do The Premier League’s Big Boys Want Alex Scott?

The likes of Premier League betting favourites Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool, Man United and Chelsea all want Alex Scott owing to the array of attributes he has to offer. Scott is extremely effective in a defensive role and offers plenty going forward.

He covers ground with ease and is an authoritative figure for current employers Bournemouth. Not only that, Scott only turns 23 in August so offers bags of potential. Something of which he is likely to reach if he is accompanied by stronger teammates who play regular European football.


*Odds are correct as of 10am, Thursday, July 23, 2026. Market is for Alex Scott to join before September 1, 2026.
