Liverpool remain keen on Alex Scott alternative – to the joy of Chelsea

Liverpool remain interested in signing Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara in future transfer windows as an alternative to Bournemouth star Alex Scott. The 22-year-old Senegal international, valued at €55 million (£47.1 million), previously came close to joining Chelsea on deadline day before Monaco aborted the permanent transfer.

Chelsea also retain strong interest in Scott after seeing a €74.8 million (£64 million) bid rejected in July, with Bournemouth now reportedly valuing him at €117 million (£100 million). Scott, who previously worked under Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola, will not be allowed to leave in January despite turning down contract extensions.
