EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City chase highly-rated 17-year-old Aston Villa defender Evie Rabjohn ... as Emma Hayes calls for FA to bring in transfer fees for players under the age of 18

Aston Villa's highly rated Evie Rabjohn is attracting interest from the Women’s Super League’s top three clubs.

The 17-year-old defender, who received her first call-up to the England U19 squad on Friday, made her senior debut for Villa last season.

Manchester United failed in a bid to sign Rabjohn this summer but retain a strong interest in pursuing a move for the centre back.

Aston Villa finished ninth in the top flight last season and Rabjohn made her senior debut
Chelsea boss Emma Hayes called for an FA rule change to allow clubs to sign players under 18

Rabjohn cannot sign a professional deal with Villa until she turns 18 in April, meaning other WSL clubs would be able to sign her before then without having to pay compensation.
