Morgan Rogers has congratulated Alex Scott on his England debut amid ongoing rumours of Chelsea’s interest in the Bournemouth star.
Scott has been on the radar of numerous top clubs in recent transfer windows, but remains a Bournemouth player as it stands.
He is into his fourth season at the Vitality Stadium since joining from Bristol City, and has been in fine form since Marco Rose’s arrival.
The 23-year-old was a top target for Chelsea over the summer and sources say they remain keen on his services ahead of the January window.
Scott’s strong recent performances were rewarded with a maiden England cap in the Nations League against Czechia on Tuesday night.
Chelsea star Rogers has fuelled rumours of him moving to Stamford Bridge with a new message on social media.

BBC Sport reporter Nizaar Kinsella confirmed this week that Chelsea are still watching Scott’s progress, but Bournemouth will stand in the way of him leaving in January.
