Transfer: Chelsea suffer Alex Scott blow

Chelsea have had a £64 million bid for Bournemouth’s Alex Scott rejected.

According to BBC Sport, Bournemouth are demanding around £80m for the 22-year-old midfielder.

Scott is also attracting interest from Chelsea’s Premier League rivals Manchester United and Arsenal.

The English footballer has entered the final two years of his contract with the Cherries.

It’s yet to be seen if Chelsea will step up their bid for Scott before the summer transfer window closes.

Chelsea have already signed the likes of Morgan Rogers, Marco Palestra, Emmanuel Emegha, Geovany Quenda, and Valentin Barco for their manager, Xabi Alonso.
