Chelsea<\/a> reportedly dream of signing AFC Bournemouth star Alex Scott, as per Caught Offside<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n After moving to Vitality Stadium from Bristol City, the 23-year-old initially took time to settle into his new surroundings before showing glimpses of his qualities last term.<\/p>\n In 39 appearances across all competitions, the midfielder made five goal contributions. Moreover, he helped his side qualify for the Europa League<\/a> by finishing sixth in the league.<\/p>\n Following Andoni Iraola\u2019s departure, Bournemouth have endured a difficult start under new manager Marco Rose this season, failing to win a Premier League<\/a> game thus far.<\/p>\n Still, Scott has showcased his qualities, making two goal contributions in six matches in all tournaments. He has even secured his place in the England national team.<\/p>\n Now, Caught Offside<\/em> claim that despite selling Enzo Fernandez this summer, Chelsea failed to sign a new midfielder to replace the South American.<\/p>\n So, they are considering reinforcing the engine room in January and dream of purchasing Scott. However, Bournemouth might want to hold off on him until the end of this season.<\/p>\n Chelsea initially wanted to sign him this summer and even launched a formal proposal. But the Cherries refused to let him leave, with his existing deal set to run until 2028.<\/p>\n The report state that the West London club are also interested in Crystal Palace\u2019s Adam Wharton and could make a move for him if they fail to sign Scott.<\/p>\n Xabi Alonso\u2019s side wanted Lamine Camara and came close to signing him on deadline day, but AS Monaco ultimately blocked the transfer<\/a>, which made the Blues furious.<\/p>\n So, Chelsea aren\u2019t planning to revive their interest in him, and Liverpool<\/a> have now started showing interest, with the Reds seemingly planning to sign a new midfielder after letting Curtis Jones leave this summer.<\/p>\n Scott, valued at around \u00a343m by Transfermarkt<\/span><\/a>, likes to be deployed in the box-to-box role but is also efficient in the defensive midfield position. Furthermore, he can provide cover in the CAM role if needed.<\/p>\n The Englishman is a talented player and possesses high potential. Therefore, he would be a shrewd acquisition for Man Utd<\/a> should they purchase him.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tScott to Chelsea<\/h2>\n
