Spurs Eye £80m Premier League Midfielder as De Zerbi Targets Midfield Reinforcement
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly stepping up their pursuit of Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott as Roberto De Zerbi looks to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season.
After securing Premier League survival on the final day of the campaign, Spurs are now focused on rebuilding key areas of the team. While attention has largely been on defensive and attacking additions, De Zerbi is believed to view midfield as a crucial area for improvement.
According to reports, Tottenham are strong admirers of Scott, although they face competition from Liverpool and Manchester United for the highly-rated 22-year-old. Bournemouth are said to value the England youth international at around £80 million.
Scott has developed into one of the Premier League’s most promising young midfielders, earning praise for his energy, creativity, and ability to influence matches in both attacking and defensive phases. His performances under former Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola have attracted widespread attention, and uncertainty surrounding the club’s future could open the door for a move.
Many believe Scott could become De Zerbi’s version of Dele Alli at Tottenham. While the Bournemouth star possesses a different skill set, his ability to drive forward from midfield, create chances, and contribute in dangerous areas has drawn comparisons with the former Spurs fan favourite.
Unlike Alli, Scott is capable of operating in deeper positions while also supporting attacks from advanced areas. His versatility, work rate, and technical quality make him an attractive option for a Tottenham side looking to inject more dynamism into midfield.
With competition increasing for his signature, Spurs may need to act quickly if they want to secure one of England’s brightest young talents this summer.
