Bournemouth have placed a hefty £100 million pricetag on their midfielder Alex Scott, with the club looking to ward off interested parties as the January transfer window approaches.
The Cherries are determined to keep hold of the 23-year-old, especially as they compete in European competitions and look to rely on their key players in the quest for international silverware.
Simultaneously, Bournemouth have initiated talks to extend Scott's contract, which is set to expire in just over a year and a half.
London club Chelsea are closely monitoring the situation. According to Daily Mail journalist Kieran Gill, the Blues remain keen on securing the midfielder's signature but have seen several bids in the region of £68 million rejected by Bournemouth.
