Bournemouth, Chelsea and Alex Scott
Tuesday
Bournemouth have rejected a £64m bid from Chelsea for midfielder Alex Scott. The Cherries told Chelsea they do not welcome further approaches, even though Scott has rejected a new contract with two years left.
Bournemouth are under no pressure to sell after Europa League qualification and major income from previous player sales. Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City have also shown interest in Scott during a busy Premier League midfield market.
