  "account": "Fresh hope has emerged for Liverpool to sign Alex Scott, the £100m target previously dubbed \"amazing\" by Andoni Iraola. The Merseyside club, having previously signed several marquee names from Bournemouth, including Richard Hughes, Milos Kerkez, and their head coach, could make another bid for the Cherries. Liverpool are currently in a \"strong position\" to sign the 23-year-old midfielder, thanks to the close relationships between Iraola and Bournemouth. Chelsea is also interested in Scott, who rejected two contract offers at Bournemouth last season and has been \"pushing to leave\" the club. The England debutant impressed during a match against Arsenal in April, with Iraola praising his performance as \"amazing\". Bournemouth is reportedly open to selling Scott for £100m if any prospective buyer is willing. Iraola, who previously coached Scott at Bournemouth, is eager to reunite with the player, and Liverpool could capitalize on the January transfer window being wide open.",
