Scott looking to repeat England impact at Bournemouth

Even with a broken jaw, Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott proved himself to be a key man in England's victorious European Under-21 Championship campaign.

Scott's midfield partnership with Nottingham Forest's Elliott Anderson was the axis on which England's success was built and created a bond between them that will endure even when they are opposing each other.

Now Scott must set his sights on making a similar impact at Bournemouth.

Having arrived from Bristol City for about £25m with a reputation as one of the best players in the Championship, Scott has impressed at times without being able to get into an extended period of decent form.

He has only completed the full 90 minutes in the Premier League twice, and of his 50 appearances for Bournemouth over the past two seasons, half have come off the bench.

"There are obviously times when I am upset and annoyed because I am not playing as well as I know I can," he told BBC Sport.

"I was starting every week [at Bristol City], then I came here and am coming off the bench in some games and starting some games. It is hard to build that rhythm.

"I have had troubles with injuries as well, which has been tough mentally. I have never experienced that before. I have had to learn so much about myself.

"I am full of confidence now from the Euros and am looking forward to the season because it is one where I need to kick on, start more games and perform at a higher level than I have been."
