Manchester City have been linked with another key Bournemouth man having only just purchased Antoine Semenyo from the club.
The Ghana international headed to the Etihad Stadium earlier this month in a deal worth around �65m, having been with the Cherries for three years.
Manchester City eye another Bournemouth talent
But Pep Guardiolas side are not done there, and now have their eyes trained on another talent at the Vitality Stadium, according to reports.
This time, the Sky Blues are focusing their attention on the midfield.
According to a report from Fichajes, City are interested in young Cherries midfielder Alex Scott.
The 22-year-old who, like Semenyo, spent some of his formative years with Bristol City and is the step-brother of Manchester United centre-back Maya Le Tissier has made 21 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth this year.
The Spanish outlet claims that City are keen to strike now before the price rises, but dont necessarily see him as an immediate nailed-on starter.
Guardiolas side are said to be prepared to offer over �50m for Scotts services.
He received his first senior England call-up last year, but is yet to make his Three Lions debut.
In FourFourTwos opinion, while this move is a strong one for Citys long-term planning, its not necessarily right for Scott at this moment.
Hes currently a regular feature in a relatively strong Premier League squad, under a top-class coach in Andoni Iraola.
With Rodri returning to full fitness, Nico Gonzalez in the wings, Tijjani Reijnders battling for starts and Mateo Kovacic still to come back, he may find game time limited, which could stunt his progression at this stage.
Scott is valued at 30m, according to Transfermarkt.
