After breaking their transfer record to sign forward Morgan Rogers, Chelsea are reported to have tried, and failed, with a bid worth $86 million (£64 million) for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott—an indication that Xabi Alonso’s overhaul is far from finished.
The Blues went big on Rogers, parting with $157 million (£117 million) to land the England international from Aston Villa and continue a hectic summer that has already seen Marco Palestra, Emmanuel Emegha, Geovany Quenda and young left back Denner join the club.
