Ex-Liverpool striker Emile Heskey thinks manager Andoni Iraola should raid Bournemouth for Alex Scott.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Reds have been linked with several other Cherries stars, including Ryan<\/strong> and Marcus Tavernier, but when asked by 10bet<\/em> which player Iraola should take from his former club, Heskey said:<\/p>\n \u201cAlex Scott. When you look at the young midfielders moving around the market right now, he\u2019s right up there with the best of them, and he probably wouldn\u2019t command half the inflated price tag of others despite being just as talented.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe great thing for me is that Iraola has already proven he can get the absolute best out of him. Having a player like that make the step up with a manager who already trusts him inside out would be a massive asset.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite having less than two years left on his contract, Scott is still likely to cost in the region of \u00a380m. His decision to reject a contract extension may help to lower his price somewhat, but the competition for his signature remains fierce.<\/p>\n Mainz\u2019s Kaishu Sano<\/strong>Roma\u2019s Manu Kone, Real Madrid\u2019s Eduardo Camavinga and Lille\u2019s Ayyoub Bouaddi have all been loosely linked with a switch to Anfield.<\/p>\n Respected journalist Fabrizio Romano claims that the Merseysiders are looking for reinforcements in the middle of the park this summer, but a lot may still depend on outgoings.<\/p>\n If Curtis Jones or Alexis Mac Allister were to leave, it would free up room for a new midfield addition. For now, though, the focus is on strengthening the front line.<\/p>\n Want more news on Liverpool?

Unfortunately, the midfielder won\u2019t be available that cheaply this summer. There is a great deal of interest being shown in him from the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, which has driven up his valuation.<\/p>\nAre Liverpool interested in signing any other midfielders?<\/h2>\n
