What happened. Chelsea are looking to sign Adam Scott from Bournemouth, but appear certain to have to wait almost a year. The interest follows Chelsea's failure to land a midfielder on deadline day.

• Chelsea missed out on signing a midfielder on deadline day
• Any deal for Scott looks unlikely for close to a year
• Chelsea may need to rethink their midfield transfer plans
