Chelsea Step Up January Pursuit of Bournemouth Midfielder Alex Scott
Chelsea are reportedly stepping up their interest in Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott ahead of the January transfer window. The Blues want a specialist central midfielder after Enzo Fernandez’s departure and the collapse of a proposed move for Monaco’s Lamine Camara. Malo Gusto has provided emergency cover in midfield, but Chelsea are expected to seek a long-term solution. Scott is viewed as a strong option because of his Premier League experience, passing ability and versatility. The England Under-21 international can operate as a deeper midfielder or in a more advanced role. Bournemouth are expected to demand a substantial fee, but Chelsea are reportedly willing to pay if Scott becomes their priority target. The 23-year-old is also believed to be open to a move to Stamford Bridge.
