Arsenal and Man Utd Joint Favourites to sign Alex Scott  

Arsenal and Manchester United are both 9/4 to be Alex Scott’s next club with bookmaker William Hill.

The Gunners and Red Devils share favouritism to land the England midfielder after he rejected a new contract offer from Bournemouth, while Chelsea follow closely behind at 5/2.

Elsewhere, Newcastle lead Liverpool in the race for his signature, while Spurs, Manchester City, and Aston Villa make up the eight Premier League clubs at the top of the market to add him to their ranks.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Alex Scott was a bright spark in Bournemouth’s midfield and guided the South Coast club to a top six finish in the Premier League, so it is no wonder he’s a target to be cherry-picked by the top dogs.

“While it’s uncertain who will win him over, Arsenal and Manchester United lead the way at 9/4, with Chelsea hot on their heels at 5/2.

“It does look certain however that he’ll stay in the Premier League, with Newcastle (3/1), Liverpool (5/1), Spurs (8/1), Manchester City (9/1), and Aston Villa (9/1) all in the running to boost their ranks with his arrival.”
