£64m bid rejected: Chelsea fail with offer for “amazing” Arsenal transfer target

The Spanish tactician has previously praised Scott as “amazing”, as quoted by BBC Sport, and there’s surely a case for bringing him in as an upgrade on Alexis Mac Allister, whose form dipped somewhat last season.

For now it seems like Chelsea and other clubs have a more concrete interest, but Iraola is clearly a big fan of Scott, so we should perhaps keep an eye on LFC to see if they get involved in this transfer battle at some point this summer.
