Liverpool ahead of Chelsea in race to sign Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott
Story updated
The story in brief
31-second readLiverpool are in a strong position to beat Chelsea to the signing of Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, according to the Daily Mail . The Cherries are now open to selling the England international in January, surprisingly reversing their decision to keep key players until next summer.
They are prepared to sell Scott if their Premier League status looks secure and suitors offer around £100 million. Chelsea have been the most persistent admirers of the 23-year-old, submitting several bids for his signature.
Their highest offer (worth around £68m) was rejected during the summer window . However, Liverpool’s interest is genuine, and Bournemouth believe the Merseyside club could have an advantage in the race.
