Bournemouth reject three bids from Chelsea for Alex Scott ranging from £62m to £68m

Bournemouth have taken a firm stance in the transfer market, rejecting three consecutive official offers from Chelsea for 23-year-old English midfielder Alex Scott.

The offers from the Blues ranged between £62 million and £68 million, but the Cherries have firmly turned down each attempt from the London club to secure the midfielder's services.

At Bournemouth, Scott is viewed as an absolutely irreplaceable figure in central midfield, and the club has no intention of letting one of their key English assets go as the transfer window draws to a close, even for a substantial fee.
