Chelsea preparing another offer to Bournemouth to sign Alex Scott

Chelsea is reportedly preparing another offer for Bournemouth to sign their midfielder, Alex Scott. According to journalist Miguel Delaney, the London club has long admired the 23-year-old and may attempt to bring him to Stamford Bridge this summer. However, Bournemouth has repeatedly rejected Chelsea's attempts to sign the England international, valuing him too highly.

The Blues are now considering a significant bid, possibly around £80 million, though a figure closer to £90 million may be necessary to persuade Bournemouth to make a change. While Scott is a talented player, Chelsea must weigh his potential against Fernandez's proven productivity and reliability. Despite Scott's injury issues, he remains a promising player; however, his £80m-£90m price tag may be excessive, especially if Fernandez leaves and Chelsea need a genuine upgrade.
