Chelsea look early for Alex Scott, Neto and Nkunku watched
BBC Sport says Chelsea target Alex Scott at Bournemouth and monitor Pedro Neto and Christopher Nkunku as the window nears.
Chelsea want to make an early push for Alex Scott. According to BBC Sport, the plan is for the 23-year-old to arrive next summer, after a £60m bid was rejected in the recent transfer window (Teamtalk).
Summer target
The same reports add that Pedro Neto is drawing attention beyond Stamford Bridge. BBC Sport says Arsenal, Manchester City and Al-Hilal could move for the 26-year-old Portugal international in January, as Caught Offside notes.
Nkunku’s next step
On Christopher Nkunku, BBC Sport reports that the forward turned down Manchester United and Newcastle United before completing a loan return to RB Leipzig (Bild and Sky Sport Germany, via Caught Offside).
The gossip round also touches other cases: BBC Sport mentions Folarin Balogun as a possible move to the Saudi Pro League while Monaco face financial pressure to sell, and suggests Jacob Murphy may be offered a new deal at Newcastle with his contract running out next summer (Football Insider).
