Chelsea will have to adjust their January plans for a midfielder after Premier League rivals made their stance clear on the sought-after player. Alex Scott, a Bournemouth midfielder and the top target for Chelsea, will not be joining the club in January, despite persistent reports of their interest in the player. The long international break has increased transfer talk at this time of year, as teams only played a few games following the start of the season.
Chelsea gambled on entering the season with a weaker midfield and have already faced the consequences. Currently, they are considering whether to bring in a short-term solution, alter their long-term strategy and focus on a different target, or wait until the summer for potential options.
