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

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

Scott missed only one of Bournemouth's Premier League matches last season, as the club finished sixth and qualified 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 and is seeking a new challenge.

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

According to the Metro, former England striker Emile Heskey believes Liverpool should enter the race for the English player, noting that former Bournemouth coach Iraola could help persuade Scott to join him at his new club.
