Chelsea have been handed a major transfer boost for Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott – but only after seeing a £64m bid rejected. Bournemouth are desperate to keep hold of the 21-year-old, who has rejected a new contract offer, leaving the door ajar for a potential second approach.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are targeting Marcus Rashford and have held talks over a move for Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes, as the summer window intensifies. The Gunners are looking to strengthen their squad after a promising season.
“Chelsea's £64m bid for Alex Scott rejected; Arsenal target Rashford, Guimaraes; Chelsea sign Rogers.”
Chelsea have also completed the signing of Rogers – a move that bolsters their attacking options – though details of the deal remain undisclosed.
Across Manchester, United are preparing for a pre-season friendly against Rosenborg, looking to bounce back from defeat in their opening fixture. Liverpool, too, are active in the market, with the latest updates expected shortly.
The flurry of activity comes as clubs fine-tune their squads ahead of the new campaign, with the BBC and Standard Sport providing comprehensive coverage of every move.
