Chelsea could use Alex Scott

Scott could prove to be an interesting addition for them. Multiple clubs are monitoring his progress, but Chelsea are now hoping to get ahead of their rivals by making an early move.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Bournemouth midfielder, as per reports from Spain.

The Cherries would only sell the player if an offer surpasses £50 million in the summer. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will pay that kind of money for Scott. The 22-year-old is a young midfielder with a lot of potential, and he could justify the investment in future.

Other clubs keen on Scott

Meanwhile, Manchester United and Tottenham also need more creativity and control in the middle of the park. They need a technically gifted midfielder who will help drive the team forward. Scott could be an exceptional acquisition for all three clubs. However, the Cherries might need to be more reasonable about the asking price for the move to go through.

The young midfielder could be attracted to the idea of joining a big club in the summer. Joining Chelsea, Manchester United, or Tottenham would be a major step up in his career, and he would get to play alongside top-quality players.

It remains to be seen whether the interested parties decide to follow up with an official proposal in the coming weeks.
