Chelsea eyes Alex Scott and Adam Wharton for January transfer window
Summary

Chelsea is reportedly considering a move for midfielders Alex Scott and Adam Wharton ahead of the January transfer window. The club has maintained interest in Scott despite a rejected summer bid from Bournemouth, who are unwilling to sell before 2027. Chelsea intends to test their resolve in January. Wharton, currently with Crystal Palace, is also a target, with timing being a key factor for any potential bid. The club has opted against pursuing Georginio Wijnaldum, instead focusing on younger long-term solutions. Chelsea's interest in Lamine Camara has cooled after frustrations during negotiations with Monaco.
