Chelsea considers January transfer move for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott

Chelsea is reportedly identifying Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott as a primary target for the January transfer window. The club is seeking to bolster its central midfield depth following the sale of Enzo Fernandez and a failed pursuit of Lamine Camara. Internally, Chelsea views the player as a tactically flexible option who possesses the necessary experience to succeed in the Premier League. While the player is reportedly open to the move due to Chelsea's European aspirations, he remains under contract with Bournemouth until 2028. Bournemouth is under no immediate pressure to sell their player and would likely demand a substantial fee. Chelsea is currently evaluating whether to meet these expectations to secure a reinforcement before the season enters its final stretch.
