Liverpool 'certainly' keen on Alex Scott after £64m bid rejected

Liverpool among clubs monitoring Bournemouth midfielder Scott after Chelsea's £64m summer bid was rejected; Scott faces two months out with injury.

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott is being closely watched by Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea after impressing on his England debut. Chelsea had a £64m bid rejected in the summer for the 23-year-old, who is entering the final two years of his contract. Scott is now sidelined for around two months with a quadriceps injury. With contract talks stalling, Bournemouth are expected to face pressure to sell next summer rather than lose him on a free transfer.
