Chelsea suddenly unlock Alex Scott deal as price tag set after final round of talks

Bournemouth are open to selling Chelsea target Alex Scott in January if an offer in the region of £100million arrives. However, it is not the only condition required for the Cherries to sanction an exit. Chelsea retain an interest in the player for whom they saw a £64m bid turned down over the summer. At that time, Bournemouth told interested parties not to make an offer or approach for the England midfielder. Scott had wanted to depart with a host of top clubs interested in his signature, but Bournemouth were adamant about holding on to the 23-year-old.
