Manager Praise from Tuchel
He had an excellent EUROs. He won the title and Lee was full of praise. He did an excellent job in midfield together with Elliot Anderson who is now a regular starter for us.
Tuchel also noted:
He was very impressive but then took another step and became a regular starter for Bournemouth, who are consistently overperforming in the top third of the league.
He puts intensity in and gets his minutes, so we thought this is the perfect time to reward him and see what he can bring to our team.

Scott has started nearly every game for Bournemouth so far this season, scoring a spectacular goal against Brighton. He has been a key figure in the midfield, partnering with Tyler Adams to help the club reach fifth place in the Premier League after ten matches.
