Chelsea's hunt for fresh midfield options could throw up a domestic twist, with Bournemouth's Alex Scott reportedly emerging as a serious target, according to EPL Index.
While much of the transfer chatter around Stamford Bridge has centred on Monaco's Lamine Camara, the report suggests Scott is quietly becoming a genuine option for the Blues, who are said to be favourites for his signature. The England youth international has impressed since his move to Bournemouth and is viewed as a versatile midfield talent who could offer competition and depth for Enzo Maresca's squad.
It's understood the story is still developing, with Chelsea's midfield plans far from finalised as they weigh up multiple candidates ahead of future transfer windows. No fee, timeline or formal approach has been detailed, and Bournemouth's stance on a potential sale hasn't been outlined either.
For now, this remains firmly in speculation territory — but if EPL Index's report gains traction, Scott's name could quickly become one of the more prominent midfield storylines linked with Chelsea in the coming months.
