Aston Villa have monitored Alex Scott's progress, according to Team Talk. Bournemouth have made a new and improved contract offer to the player, but he has not yet agreed to the terms and is showing no immediate inclination to sign an extension.

Team Talk reports that while Aston Villa have been reported as being interested in Alex Scott in the past, their interest appears less advanced.

Bournemouth is aware they could face difficulty in keeping 22-year-old English midfielder Alex Scott, as Aston Villa, Man Utd, Man City, and Newcastle United are all monitoring his progress. It is understood that Tottenham Hotspur were also watching the midfielder but have now pursued other targets. In response to the growing interest, sources confirm Bournemouth is prepared to offer Scott a contract extension. The player's current deal has just over two years remaining. In the current Premier League season, Scott has made 21 appearances, scoring one goal. He transferred to Bournemouth from Bristol City in August 2023 for a fee of €23 million. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €30 million, while reports in November 2025 suggested Bournemouth would demand £60-65 million for a sale.
