Chelsea have reportedly had a \u00a364m transfer bid rejected for Alex Scott as Bournemouth continue to fight to keep their star midfielder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old has been superb for the Cherries, so is surely not someone they\u2019ll want to lose, but there\u2019s a huge amount of interest in him this summer.<\/p>\n

Although the latest offer has come from Chelsea, with Bournemouth turning down \u00a364m from the Blues, they\u2019ve also previously snubbed Arsenal\u2019s enquiry about the Englishman, according to BBC Sport.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have just completed the signing of Morgan Rogers in what looks like one of the most exciting deals of the summer, and Scott would be another fine addition to Xabi Alonso\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n

Still, Bournemouth are clearly not about to let Scott go without a fight, so what next in this saga?<\/p>\n

Alex Scott transfer options<\/h2>\n

It will be interesting to see if Chelsea try again for Scott, while it would surely also make sense to keep an eye on Arsenal\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n

With Sky Sports reporting that Scott has rejected a new contract offer from Bournemouth, it\u2019s perhaps hard not to see this ending with his sale.<\/p>\n

Still, the England Under-21 international is also under contract with his current club until 2028, so even if it might make financial sense to sell him now, they\u2019re not under too much pressure to do so.<\/p>\n

As well as Arsenal and Chelsea, it\u2019s also easy to imagine other big clubs getting involved, with the BBC\u2019s report also mentioning interest from Manchester United, City, and Tottenham.<\/p>\n

Could Alex Scott link up with Andoni Iraola again?<\/h2>\n

Another link that could make a lot of sense is with Scott\u2019s former manager Andoni Iraola, who is now in charge of Liverpool.<\/p>\n

The Spanish tactician has previously praised Scott as \u201camazing\u201d, as quoted by BBC Sport, and there\u2019s surely a case for bringing him in as an upgrade on Alexis Mac Allister, whose form dipped somewhat last season.<\/p>\n

For now it seems like Chelsea and other clubs have a more concrete interest, but Iraola is clearly a big fan of Scott, so we should perhaps keep an eye on LFC to see if they get involved in this transfer battle at some point this summer.<\/p>\n
