Chelsea eye early switch for Alex Scott, while Pedro Neto and Nkunku attract interest

Chelsea have been quietly lining up a move for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, who has impressed in the Premier League with his passing range and defensive work rate. The club is hoping to secure the player before the summer window closes, according to insiders.

In a separate development, Chelsea’s own winger Pedro Neto has drawn interest from several clubs across Europe, with reports suggesting that clubs are keen to acquire his pace and creativity on the flank. Chelsea are reportedly weighing the option of selling Neto to balance their wage bill.

On the other hand, Manchester United and Newcastle United have both expressed curiosity about French striker Christopher Nkunku, who is currently on loan at Chelsea. Nkunku’s goal‑scoring ability in Ligue 1 has made him a high‑profile target for clubs looking to bolster their attack.

With the transfer deadline approaching, the clubs involved will need to decide whether to proceed with negotiations or keep the players in the squad for the remainder of the season. Any deals will likely involve a mix of cash and future clauses.

As the window opens, fans will be watching closely to see whether Chelsea can secure Scott and whether Neto or Nkunku will move on to new challenges elsewhere.
