Chelsea want to sign Bournemouth midfielder

Chelsea are reportedly keen on landing the signature of Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott during the summer transfer window.

The Blues are planning to reinforce their midfield for next season, and there is a possibility of more than one departure in the midfield department.

Hence, the Blues have begun their hunt for a new signing, and reports claim they have been impressed by Scott's progress this campaign.

The 22-year-old has become an undisputed starter for the Cherries in the heart of the midfield and recently scored the winner against Arsenal.

The Blues have been closely monitoring his situation, and they are prepared to accelerate their pursuit with a view to landing his signature.

Scott's arrival at Chelsea could coincide with an exit. Romeo Lavia has been largely injury-prone in his career and could be offloaded.

Lavia has been linked with a potential move to Ligue 1 with Marseille in the past. Les Phoceens could revive their pursuit this summer.
