Chelsea's interest in Scott stems from his contractual situation, as he will enter the final year of his deal next summer after previously turning down an extension at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth could be open to an offer, which would allow Chelsea to explore whether a move for him can be secured in January. This comes as Chelsea started this season with a pair of full backs in midfield, and Scott's signing would provide a much-needed boost to their midfield.
Meanwhile, AS Monaco striker Folarin Balogun is attracting interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, with the Saudi Pro League keeping close tabs on the situation of the 25-year-old USMNT international. Les Monegasques have been keen to offload Balogun due to their financial situation and remain intent on moving him on after his €40 million switch to Everton broke down on deadline day.
Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City are monitoring the situation of AS Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara, following the breakdown of his €55 million move to Chelsea on deadline day.
