Catch up with all the latest Liverpool transfer news, including updates on the pursuit of Alex Scott and fresh contract talks with Trey Nyoni

With the international break now upon us, Liverpool has a chance to reflect on the season so far, and what is still left to come in the next few weeks and months.

The Reds have made a positive start to the campaign, competing well across the Premier League, Champions League and EFL Cup so far. However, there is clearly work that needs to be done for Andoni Iraola to take them to the next level.

The manager will be considering the options at his disposal and plotting a route ahead, while the recruitment team will be assessing where external recruitment could help shore up the squad for the future. With January on the horizon, there could be some moves in the winter market, as well as deals to keep talented prospects at the club for years to come.

So, with that said, here's a look at the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumors ahead of another busy day of action.

Alex Scott (Bournemouth)

Liverpool continues to be linked with a move for Bournemouth star Alex Scott ahead of the January transfer window. The midfielder is moving towards the final 18 months of his contract, and with no new deal in sight, the Cherries could cash-in when the winter market opens.

With that in mind, the i Paper reports that Liverpool has made contact with the south coast club about the possibility of signing the England international. The Reds are not alone, as Arsenal and Chelsea have also made the move to discuss a deal with Bournemouth, with the battle starting to heat up.

Scott is seemingly rated at roughly $132 million, with the potential interest leading to a possible bidding war in the coming weeks.

Liverpool.com says: Alex Scott is a name that doesn't seem to be going away when it comes to links with Liverpool. There is clearly some interest in the midfielder, who has ties to Andoni Iraola from his own time at Bournemouth.

The 23-year-old has shown an ability to play in the system that the Reds now feature in, but there may be a few concerns. The main one will be about price, with the huge expenditure on the likes of Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Bradley Barcola potentially restricting how much the club can spend.

The other may surround midfield balance, with Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, Trey Nyoni, and Florian Wirtz all fighting for three places in the team.

Trey Nyoni (Liverpool)

Speaking of midfielders, GiveMeSport claims that Liverpool is closing in on a new contract for Trey Nyoni, which should keep the star secured for the long-term.

The discussions are claimed to be "advanced", with the possibility of the 19-year-old's deal being announced during the international break. Nyoni has impressed so far this season, with 13 appearances and one goal to his name.

Liverpool.com says: Even though Nyoni only signed a new deal last summer, it's no surprise that Liverpool wants to agree fresh terms as soon as possible. It's a reward for the growth in stature of the youngster, who is continuing to show his quality at the senior level, while there will likely be an extension on the end date of that contract.

Considering the interest from Nottingham Forest in the summer, it's clear that teams will be aware of the midfielder's talents, so rewarding him and agreeing a new deal helps secure his future at the club.
