Chelsea's winter hunt is halted by Bournemouth's resilience

AFC Bournemouth has confirmed that the club will not cooperate in January with the departure of its key players. This is reported by The Telegraph, which also indicates that the information has been spread via Google. Among the players now in the spotlight is midfielder Alex Scott, who is being followed by Chelsea and other English top clubs.

Also forward Eli Junior Kroupi attracts interest, after he has impressed since his breakthrough and has now received a call-up for the French national team. Bournemouth, however, wants to consider any transfers only after the season ends.

Manager Marco Rose has led his team to seventh place in the Premier League. The club has also achieved eight consecutive wins, which has significantly increased the chances of European football. AFC Bournemouth is also active in the Europa League, making the retention of the current squad especially important.
