Liverpool, led by Spanish coach Andoni Iraola, has entered the race to sign Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott to bolster their ranks next season.

Scott is attracting interest from Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea after his impressive performances for Bournemouth last season.

Scott missed only one of Bournemouth's Premier League matches last season, as the club finished sixth to qualify for the Europa League for the first time in their history.

The 22-year-old still has two years remaining on his contract with Bournemouth, but reports indicate he has rejected a new deal from the club and seeks a new challenge.

This news is likely to spark interest from several major Premier League clubs, and his value is believed to be around £80 million.

Former England striker Emile Heskey, according to Metro, believes Liverpool should seek to enter the race for the English player, noting that former Bournemouth manager Iraola could help convince Scott to join him at his new club.
