Bournemouth's steadfast refusal to sell Alex Scott is softening, with the England midfielder continuing to refuse offers to sign a new contract at the south coast club, Sky Sports News has been told.

If a big offer came in for him in January, it is something the club would have to consider. While Scott will not agitate for a move, he is ambitious and keen on exploring his options with bigger clubs.

Chelsea and Liverpool retain a serious interest in the 23-year-old, as did Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham before they strengthened their midfield with other options in the summer, after being told by Bournemouth Scott was not for sale.

Scott's existing contract expires in just over 18 months, and Bournemouth are aware that his value will only shrink further as time passes.
