Premier League interest in Alex Scott

Overview

Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott remains a primary target for several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur. While interest from these elite clubs was initially at an exploratory stage, Chelsea has intensified its pursuit to address midfield deficiencies following the departure of Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City.

Chelsea is reportedly preparing for significant activity in the January transfer window. Having previously seen a £64 million bid rejected by Bournemouth, the club intends to return with improved offers. Scott is being targeted alongside Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, who is viewed as a progressive alternative capable of dictating play. Chelsea is also monitoring Manchester City centre-back Abdukodir Khusanov to address defensive shortages after conceding 12 goals in their first five Premier League matches.

However, Bournemouth has indicated they have no intention of selling Scott during the upcoming January window, with the club determined to keep him at the Vitality Stadium for at least the remainder of the current season. While a previous bid was rejected, Bournemouth’s internal valuations have reportedly risen to approximately €110 million (£94.6 million).

Although Scott is said to be open to a move to Stamford Bridge and is viewed as a fit for manager Xabi Alonso’s system, Chelsea may need to wait until the summer of 2027 to secure a deal. Scott remains under contract until June 2028, and his profile remains elevated following an England squad call-up.
