Sources: Chelsea to launch improved bid for Alex Scott but still short of Bournemouth’s valuation

Could Eli Junior Kroupi injury impact Alex Scott?

The injury to Eli Junior Kroupi means that’s one big sale Bournemouth surely won’t be making this summer.

Some sources have speculated that this could mean the Cherries are under some pressure to sell Scott instead, but others deny that the club need to make sales at all.

Bournemouth are in a strong financial position after qualifying for Europe, and there’ll surely be little appetite for further sales after the departure of Antoine Semenyo in January, as well as the likes of Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez last summer.
