Chelsea edge 'close to agreeing £17m' for 19-year-old defender starring in Ligue 1 as the Blues splash the case on yet another teenager

Chelsea are edging closer towards agreeing a deal for 19-year-old Mamadou Sarr to join the club from sister side RC Strasbourg, according to reports.

The centre-back has starred in Ligue 1 this season and played an influential role in Strasbourg's rise to mid-table stability as they attempt to avoid relegation, but could now be set to make a Premier League switch.

BlueCo - the consortium led by American Todd Boehly that purchased Chelsea two-years ago - paid £65m for a majority stake in the French top-flight side in June 2023.
