Chelsea lead race for Alex Scott

Update (BBC Sport Football): BBC Sport reports that Chelsea are leading the competition to sign Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott. The article also mentions Bayern Munich’s interest in Dani Olmo and Jude Bellingham’s denial of reported Manchester City interest.

Update (Sky Sports - Transfer Centre): Sky Sports News reports that Bournemouth are becoming more open to selling Alex Scott during the January transfer window. The club had previously maintained a firm stance against allowing the England midfielder to leave, but that position is reportedly softening. Scott is said to be continuing to reject offers of a new contract from Bournemouth, increasing uncertainty over his future at the south coast club. Any potential sale would require an offer exceeding £80 million, according to the report. No agreement with another club or formal transfer negotiations are identified in the available information.
