Scott snubs Bournemouth deal. Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd circle like vultures.

Sky Sports News reports the kid, 23 years old, has outright rejected multiple offers from the Cherries. Since the season ended, actually. Scott's got just two years left on his current contract. Bournemouth might not *want* to sell, but you can bet your last fiver those three Premier League big shots are still leading the charge for his signature.

Bournemouth has already sent those big clubs packing. But here's the kicker: they fully expect Scott to stick around, contract or no contract. Like he's got no say in the matter.

He almost made England's World Cup squad, under Thomas Tuchel no less. Tuchel called his omission 'unfortunate' – after the kid had a blinding league campaign. Don't let the 'defensive metrics' fool you; he ranks high among Premier League midfielders. But he's got genuine attacking venom too. They call him "The Guernsey Grealish" for a reason. His dribbling? Special. Remember that match-winner against Arsenal in April? Textbook attacking flair.

New gaffer Marco Rose is, predictably, sounding confident. He reckons Scott, Kroupi, and Rayan are all staying put. Bournemouth, apparently, is 'preparing for European football' – cute. Rose spouted the usual 'Alex knows what he has here' line. Said it's about 'the right moment' for that 'next step,' hinting these young guns could jump too soon. He even insisted there's 'no challenge' keeping the three of them. Right. We've heard that before.

This summer, midfielders are fetching silly money. Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes – all went for serious cash. Scott's just the latest to join that club.
