What happened: Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea are pursuing Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott. Arsenal have also agreed a €20 million deal to sell Leandro Trossard to Besiktas, while Real Madrid retain interest in Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo.

Why it matters: The interest tests Bournemouth's resolve as they push to secure Scott on a new contract. Trossard's proposed departure would open another place in Arsenal's attack, while Mainoo remains part of Real Madrid's midfield planning.

By the numbers: Scott, 22, has interest from four Premier League clubs. Arsenal and Besiktas have agreed a €20 million (£17 million) fee for 31-year-old Trossard; personal terms remain the next step.

What to watch: Watch for Scott contract talks and Bournemouth's response to formal offers. Trossard must agree personal terms before his move can be completed.
