Chelsea leading chase for £100 million-rated Premier League star wanted by Liverpool and Arsenal – Reports

Chelsea are reportedly leading the race to sign Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, who is also drawing interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. The Blues previously had bids reaching up to £68 million rejected during the summer transfer window as they sought to replace Enzo Fernandez. Bournemouth currently value the 23-year-old England international at £100 million.

Scott reportedly prefers a permanent move to Chelsea and is not interested in extending his Bournemouth contract, which has two years remaining. Chelsea are preparing to make another approach in the January transfer window, though they are prepared to wait until summer if Bournemouth refuse to sell mid-season.
