According to The Sun, Sam Lautenschutz is on the radar of Chelsea and Manchester City, with a ‘decision on his future expected next month’. The highly-rated FC Volendam midfielder, who has also attracted the interest of Ajax, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City, has featured for the u17s and looks to have a bright future in football.
Chelsea are reportedly leading the chase for his signature and are trying to continue developing the best young talent available. The Blues have been criticised for some time for not having a clear pathway from youth football to the first-team, but the hierarchy are still looking to bring the teenager to Stamford Bridge.
