Chelsea Morning Round-Up, Friday 6th November 2026: Foley Says Bournemouth "Haven't Given Up" on Keeping Scott from Chelsea
On the transfer front, Bournemouth owner Bill Foley has insisted his club "haven't given up" on tying down Alex Scott to a new deal, despite reported interest from Chelsea (Evening Standard).
Elsewhere, a Football365 piece rating the Premier League's sharpest finishers has a Chelsea player ranked above Erling Haaland, alongside a Manchester United forward, in a flattering look at the division's clinical attackers (Football365).
On team matters, Football.London reports that Xabi Alonso has been sent a clear message over what to do with Estevao Willian following his impressive display in the win over Manchester United, though it's no certainty the Brazilian starts again when Chelsea face Sunderland (Football.London).
That sets up an interesting call for the manager as attention turns to the Sunderland fixture, with the Estevao decision likely to be a major talking point before then (Football.London).
