Chelsea are reportedly planning to go back to AFC Bournemouth with a fresh approach for midfielder Alex Scott, having already had three bids rejecetd for the Cherries star.
The Independent claims the Blues will turn to Scott as a replacement for Enzo Fernandez, who could join Manchester City before the window closes.
Yesterday, the i Paper claimed that Chelsea had seen a trio of bids rejected by Marco Rose's side, who have made it clear that they won't be selling their star talent this summer.
The latter report claims Xabi Alonso's side have had three bids rejected from £62m up to £68m, with the Cherries making their 'not-for-sale' stance' clear.
However that could change if a bid in the region of £80m-£90m is submitted to the Cherries, according to The Independent.
Much of that will depend on Fernandez's future at Stamford Bridge, after the Argentinian international was a second-half substitute during the win over Fulham on Monday night.

There's been ongoing speculation about the midfielder's future at Chelsea having made comments about a move to Real Madrid earlier this year.
Fernandez was punished by the club for those remarks, and though Real have chosen not to pursue the 25-year-old, Manchester City and former boss Enzo Maresca are keen on signing him.

City missed a reported deadline to sign the midfielder for £120m last week, though it's believed they could try and pursue a deal before the window closes.
Alonso kept his cards close to his chest regarding the Argentinian's future and when asked about the player potentially leaving, the Blues boss told BBC's Match of The Day: "In football, I am not surprised by anything.
"We will see. My wish is that we know what will happen for the future but we will see this week."
Football.london understands that Chelsea have an interest in Scott, though Bournemouth have made it clear that the player won't be sold this summer.
