According to The Express, Chelsea are interested in signing 15 year old Arsenal attacking midfielder Ethan Nwaneri.

Nwaneri became the Premier League’s youngest-ever player when he appeared for the Gunners in their 3-0 victory over Brentford on Sunday. 

Premier League rivals Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City are also interested in signing Nwaneri but Arsenal are keen on keeping the youngster.

Nwaneri is yet to agree to a scholarship deal at Arsenal, meaning he could still be signed for a small compensation fee. 

Nwaneri is not even eligible for a professional contract until he turns 17. He will sign a scholarship at Arsenal or another club, which is a deal that lasts for two years.
