BBC News reported that Arsenal have contacted Bournemouth about midfielder Alex Scott. The item appeared in a gossip column headlined "Arsenal join Scott chase."
The same column reported that Manchester United have added two defenders to a list of potential targets, according to BBC News. The summary does not name the defenders or say when the list was compiled.
BBC News also reported that Aston Villa are weighing up a move for Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia. The summary does not describe the state of any talks, and it does not say whether Chelsea has been approached.
The column's summary refers to additional items in the roundup without describing them. It includes no fees, contract terms, or comments from the clubs, players or agents involved. The column's headline refers to Thursday's gossip, while its listed publication date is November 11, 2026, which is a Wednesday, so the date of the reporting is unclear from the source.
Because the column is a gossip roundup, the reports it describes are not confirmed transfers. The summary does not say whether any of the reported interest has led to a formal approach or an agreed deal. This report relies only on the headline and summary of the BBC News item, not the full article.
