An article by Matt Law for the Telegraph claims today that Chelsea are “at the front of the queue” to sign Bournemouth’s Alex Scott.
The Blues made a £60m+ bid for the midfielder in the summer, but the Cherries were determined to keep hold of their rising star. He started the season well and has now made his England debut. If this form continues, it’s hard to imagine him moving for much less than £100m next summer.
He will have a year left on his contract at the end of the season, meaning he has the power to force a move.
Scott looks set to play with or instead of Moises Caicedo
That’s all music to the ears of Scott-starred Chelsea fans after Croatia were dismantled by England last night. An energetic midfielder of high quality is what this team needs right now and we can see him as an effective partner for Moises Caicedo as well as someone who can replace the Ecuadorian star when he is sidelined.
