Gravenberch and Mac Allister certainly weren’t on the same level and Alex Scott is a player Iraola knows well.

“It’s a similar situation that Bournemouth find themselves in to last summer, because they’ve done so well under Iraola, a lot of clubs are sniffing around their players. I expect the interest in Alex Scott only to grow.”Liverpool have been heavily linked with a possible move for Adam Wharton, but with Scott a little more robust and potentially a smidgen cheaper, this is one to keep in mind.Scott talked up Iraola’s move to Liverpool while making up the numbers in England training ahead of the World Cup, and it is clear that he would welcome the chance to link up with the Reds’ new head coach once again.
