Guernsey-born footballer Alex Scott is set to make his Premier League debut for Bournemouth FC.

He becomes the first Guernsey footballer to play top-flight football in more than 20 years.

It comes after Alex suffered an injury which kept him on the sidelines until today's game against Wolverhampton Wanderers (21st October).

The 20-year-old, who was named the Sky Bet Championship’s young player of the season for 2022-23, attracted plenty of attention from Premier League clubs over the summer for his standout performances.

In the end it was Bournemouth who secured his services from Bristol City, in a deal thought to be worth more than £20 million.
