CLARY/AFP/Getty Images Liverpool sources not saying much about signing Alex ScottSpeaking to Anfield Index, Lewis Steele was asked: “Heard anything on this one at all?”To which the journalist responded: “Not really, to be honest, on Alex Scott?“Not really as much as I have on the other names that are linked. Doesn’t mean that obviously he’s not interested, but you know, I think he is a talented lad.

Was part of that group that was with England, with Rio, and these sorts of people.“Yeah, I’ve watched Alex Scott for a few years when he was at, I interviewed him when he was at Bristol City back in the day, and he is really, really good. I think he’s got a high ceiling, but yeah, I’m not sure on that one just yet.”Fans probably shouldn’t be too shocked by that update, given that it does kind of feel like Scott was only linked because Iraola is now the manager.However, Liverpool do still want to sign a midfielder and have been making calls in recent days, as Fabrizio Romano recently explained.He said: “Liverpool, in midfield, there could be movements at Liverpool.

I will not be surprised if Liverpool go for a new midfielder in the summer transfer window.“It’s a possibility Liverpool are making some calls for midfielders over the recent days and weeks. So I expect movement at Liverpool in terms of midfielders.”Aside from Scott, we know that Adam Wharton is a dream target, but he also has interest from other Premier League sides, while Crystal Palace would like to agree a fresh contract with the Englishman.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
