Chelsea fans are crying out for Behdad Eghbali and Clearlake to sign Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott in the January window \u2013 and Jamie Carragher thinks he knows which club he will end up joining.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott<\/a> remained at Bournemouth despite refusing to sign a new contract at The Vitality. As things stand, the called up England star is out of contract at Bournemouth in June 2028 \u2013 meaning his future is a doubt.<\/p>\n

\n

Chelsea tabled a \u00a364m bid for Scott<\/a> in the summer, and interest has remained in the Bournemouth man now that Enzo Fernandez has left, and Chelsea failed to sign Monaco\u2019s Lamine Camara on deadline day.<\/p>\n

Chelsea fans would love Scott, but Carragher backs Liverpool<\/h2>\n

Liverpool, like plenty of other clubs including Chelsea and Man United, were constantly linked with Scott during the summer. Scott\u2019s celebration against Everton suggested loyalty<\/a> to Bournemouth\u2019s supporters.<\/p>\n

However, that won\u2019t last forever. Scott will outgrow Bournemouth if he hasn\u2019t done so already, and the biggest outfits in Europe will be after his signature. Chelsea fans are hopeful that Eghbali can do a deal.<\/p>\n

Another Alex Scott bid could be imminent, Chelsea fans! It\u2019s time to discuss his valuation\u2026<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

But Jamie Carragher<\/a> thinks the presence of his former manager, Andoni Iraola, will see Liverpool get the Bournemouth man. He told Sky Sports over the weekend: \u201cI think he\u2019s a wonderful player.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lot of interest in him in the summer and because\u00a0Liverpool\u00a0have a former Bournemouth manager, you almost think: will there be a link or will there be a couple of players moving that way?<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought Rayan was fantastic last season as well. It will be really good for him to get a goal because he probably hasn\u2019t been himself at the start of the season. There\u2019s some fantastic players at Bournemouth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alex Scott has got to be the main priority for Chelsea now<\/h2>\n

If the post-window Chelsea has taught us anything, it is that the Blues are lacking in attacking midfield. They have no replacement for Fernandez, and no cover for both Cole Palmer or Morgan Rogers.<\/p>\n

They need an attacking midfielder that can do a bit of both, play as an eight and score goals from deep or replace Rogers and Palmer when injured. Scott is the perfect player for those positions right now.<\/p>\n

Having had \u00a364m rejected in the summer, Chelsea will have to pay a big price if they are to sign Scott in January \u2013 despite his contract winding down. Alan Shearer thinks Scott will eventually leave for \u00a3100m<\/a>.<\/p>\n
