Chelsea make enquiry for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott

Chelsea have identified Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott as a potential new addition to their squad. This follows the club's recent successful move to sign Pep Chavarria from Rayo Vallecano.

The interest in Scott comes as the future of Enzo Fernandez remains unclear at Stamford Bridge. The Argentina World Cup winner has been linked with a potential transfer to Manchester City, which has prompted Chelsea to look for midfield reinforcements to maintain squad depth.

Bournemouth has placed a valuation of approximately £80 million on the midfielder. It is currently unknown whether Chelsea will agree to meet this specific asking price for the player as they continue their recruitment process.

Chavarria's arrival at the West London club was intended to address the vacancy created by Marc Cucurella's move to Real Madrid. The 28-year-old defender signed a contract with Chelsea that will keep him at the club for five years.

Chelsea's pursuit of Scott represents a continued effort to reshape their roster during this summer window. The club is looking to secure talent to ensure stability in their midfield following the uncertainty surrounding Fernandez. The move for Scott would follow the pattern of recent activity at the club as they look to bolster different areas of the pitch.

While the club has already secured Chavarria to help stabilize the defensive line, the focus has now shifted toward the middle of the park. The potential departure of a player of Fernandez's stature makes the acquisition of Scott a priority for the recruitment team.
