Chelsea plot early move for Scott - Monday's gossip

Chelsea are reportedly keen to make an early move for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott. The 23-year-old is highly-rated and Chelsea hope to secure his signing for next summer. However, their initial £60m offer was rejected during the recent transfer window. Arsenal, Manchester City and Al-Hilal are all monitoring the situation closely and could attempt to sign the 26-year-old Portugal international in the January transfer window.

Meanwhile, Chelsea winger Pedro Neto is attracting interest from Arsenal, Manchester City and Al-Hilal, potentially making a January transfer move for the 26-year-old Portugal international. On the other hand, Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku, 28, has seen offers from Manchester United and Newcastle United fall through, leading to a successful loan move back to RB Leipzig.

Additionally, Manchester United have shown interest in Bournemouth's forward Christopher Nkunku, while Newcastle United have also inquired about the 28-year-old's availability. Elsewhere, Newcastle United attacking midfielder Jacob Murphy's contract expires next summer, but the 31-year-old Englishman could be offered a new deal at the club.
