Liverpool are already preparing major changes this summer following a disappointing end to the 2025/26 campaign.
The Reds finished fifth in the Premier League and failed to secure any domestic silverware.
As a result, the club decided to sack Arne Slot after growing frustration surrounding performances and results.
Liverpool’s hierarchy quickly moved to appoint Andoni Iraola as the club’s new manager after the Spaniard impressed during his time at Bournemouth.
Iraola guided the Cherries into European football for the first time in the club’s history and earned huge praise for the aggressive style of football his side produced throughout the season.
Now, the former Bournemouth manager is already identifying players who could help reshape Liverpool’s squad ahead of next season.
One area Liverpool are expected to strengthen is midfield, especially with the club preparing to compete in the Champions League again.
According to The Sun, Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has emerged as one of the players admired at Anfield.
The 22-year-old enjoyed an excellent campaign under Iraola and established himself as one of the most energetic midfielders in the Premier League.
Scott’s performances have also attracted attention from several other top clubs. Manchester United have monitored the midfielder for some time.
Tottenham Hotspur also previously expressed interest in the player, who supported Spurs during his childhood.
However, Liverpool could now have an important advantage in the race because of Iraola’s strong relationship with the midfielder.
The Spaniard worked closely with Scott during his spell at Bournemouth and played a major role in the player’s development.
Tthere is now a strong possibility that Liverpool could move for Scott during the summer transfer window. The midfielder wants to join a Champions League club if he leaves Bournemouth this summer.
Now, with Iraola settling into life at Anfield, Liverpool could soon test Bournemouth’s resolve for Alex Scott.
