After an exceptional season for Andoni Iraola’s thrilling Bournemouth, Alex Scott is a man in demand.

The Cherries’ big task this summer was to persuade their all action midfielder to sign a new deal, but he’s more than aware that that would ruin his leverage, meaning he’s so far resisted.

Scott in demand from multiple Premier League competitors

Former Liverpool player and Aston Villa fan Stan Collymore is convinced that both teams he’s associated with will be in for Scott this summer, along with plenty of others:

“If I was any of the top six or seven teams, I would want him in my team,” Collymore said, complimenting Scott’s “lateral movement.”

“There are few players who can do what he does, especially getting out of tight spaces. There’s no doubt about his ability, and that was shown in his involvement with the England squad during the friendlies.”

One would imagine the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal could also be keen on the rising star. All eyes are on him and his talks with Bournemouth. If no deal is made, expect bids to come in.

In other news…

Tottenham are keen to improve their team drastically this summer, no matter how much it costs them.

Morgan Rogers could be on the move this summer – but Arsenal will need him to start pushing for a move himself as they try to bring down a potentially massive transfer fee.

The World Cup is underway, and the attention of the football world is focused there, but in the background transfers are starting to happen too.

Chelsea are expected to be busy, following the appointment of Xabi Alonso as manager. They have already sold Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid, but moves the other way are coming too as the club prepare to try and battle back into the Champions League.

Chelsea ruled out of chase for rising Premier League star

A name being mentioned in connection with the Blues as well as a number of other Premier League sides is Alex Scott of Bournemouth.

An all action number 8, his energy was a huge part of Andoni Iraola’s successful side. But Bobby Vincent’s piece for Football.London looking at the Blues’ plans for the summer makes it clear that he’s not on the list:

“Alex Scott’s name was mentioned online towards the back end of last season but sources close to the club dismissed the links with the highly-rated Bournemouth midfielder,” Vincent wrote.

With Chelsea out of the running, teams like Spurs, Man United and Arsenal should all have a clearer run at the rising star. It’s not clear what Chelsea’s plans are if Scott is not on the cards. They need a reliable midfielder, and that’s especially true if Enzo Fernandez leaves the club, a move which looks likely at this point.

Everton are involved in a three-way transfer battle for the signature of Chelsea teenage attacker Sol Gordon.

Sol Gordon’s impressive performances at the youth level have attracted significant interest from Premier League clubs. Chelsea might struggle to hold onto the teenager, as contract renewal talks haven’t gone according to plan.

According to a report from Football Insider, Everton, Bournemouth and Newcastle are all after the signature of Gordon. All three clubs are closely monitoring his situation and will look to pounce on any opportunity to lure him away from Stamford Bridge.

Sol Gordon could leave Chelsea this summer

While the 18-year-old right-winger is yet to make his first-team debut, he has been doing wonders for Chelsea at the youth level. He enjoyed an outstanding campaign for the Blues’ Under-18s last season, helping them clinch the title. He finished with 11 goals and six assists from 28 games and also featured for their Under-21s a couple of times.

Gordon is quite highly regarded by people at Stamford Bridge, and they want to ensure he continues at the club. However, with his contract set to expire in 12 months and contract renewal talks stalling, there is a high chance he will be on the move this summer.

Everton, Bournemouth and Newcastle are all waiting in the wings for the perfect opportunity to try and strike a deal for the teenager. They consider the versatile forward a great option for the long run and want to add him to their squads this summer.

While he might not have played first-team football at Chelsea, the trio could offer him a shorter route to the senior team in an attempt to lure him. However, the Blues could still look to agree fresh terms with him in the coming weeks.
