Chelsea Q&A: January transfer plans, Estevao future, Cole Palmer snub - your questions answered

Bobby Vincent answers all your burning Chelsea questions in our latest Blues Q&A session

Welcome to our Chelsea Q&A

Chelsea's January priority

Bobby Vincent is holding a Chelsea Q&A session

Chelsea's midfield plans

Multiple people have asked are Chelsea interested in Alex Scott and Martin Zubimendi?

Bobby:

There is no doubting that Chelsea felt they went into the season a midfielder light after missing out on Lamine Camara in the final hours of the summer transfer window. Enzo Fernandez departed but the Blues couldn't get Camara over the line - to no fault of their own, really.

Chelsea of course also tried for Alex Scott but Bournemouth were never going to sell in the summer. However, the Cherries' Scott stance has eased and they would be willing to do a deal in January. The figure that has been floated to me is £100million. Of course that is the asking price, it doesn't mean it will be the eventual figure.

Martin Zubimendi is an interesting one. Xabi Alonso is definitely an admirer of the Arsenal midfielder. There were internal talks around Zubimendi over the summer but the Gunners wanted to keep him. His representatives are also aware of interest from Chelsea in the midfielder.

One to keep an eye on, but if you were to put me on the spot, I would say Scott is the more likely of the two to happen. Never rule both out, though.
