Alex Scott agrees to join Chelsea as Bournemouth demand £80 million, deal hinges on Fernandez moving to Manchester City

23-year-old Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has officially agreed to Chelsea's offer.

The talented player is keen to pull on the blue shirt as soon as the club finalises the departure of Enzo Fernandez.

Bournemouth's hierarchy has informed Scott that they are willing to let him go for a fee starting at £80 million.

This price tag isn’t expected to pose a problem for Chelsea, who are looking to balance the books with funds from Fernandez's transfer to Manchester City, which is anticipated to be completed later this week.
