What happened. Chelsea have been handed a January obstacle in their pursuit of Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, with a £95m asking price set. The Blues were keen on adding a midfielder in the summer and remain interested.
- Chelsea's summer midfield search was partly driven by uncertainty over Enzo Fernandez's future.
- Fernandez ultimately joined Manchester City.
- Bournemouth's £95m valuation could deter Chelsea in January.
Chelsea must decide whether to meet Bournemouth's £95m demand or look elsewhere in January.
