Real Madrid join Chelsea in race for Premier League star described as a 'complete package'

Chelsea lead the pursuit after Bournemouth rejected bids above £60 million, and Scott’s England debut has pushed his valuation higher.

  • Real Madrid has joined Arsenal and Chelsea in the race to sign Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, according to reports. The Spanish giants have scouted the 23-year-old several times in recent weeks.

  • Scott's stock has climbed further following his international breakthrough, yet Bournemouth shows no desire to sell in January. His versatility in midfield roles positions him as a primary target for Europe's elite clubs.
