Chelsea are currently in pole position to sign Birmingham City forward Trevan Sanusi, according to reports.
The Lowdown: Sanusi profiled
The Blues winger has worked his way up through the academy ranks at St. Andrewâs but his future is uncertain, having turned down multiple new scholarship contract proposals.
The Midlands starlet is 15 years old but will turn 16 next month, when he is reportedly hoping to move onto pastures new, and it sounds like there are two suitors waiting to snap him up in the Premier League.
The Latest: CFC leading the race
According to Football Insider, Chelsea and Arsenal are âbattlingâ it out to secure the services of Sanusi when heâs allowed to depart.
The London giants are both âhot on the trailâ of the teenager, but itâs believed that Graham Potter and his side are in âpole positionâ at this stage having pushed âhardâ.
The SW6 outfitâs scouts have âclosely watchedâ their target in multiple matches, where he has received ârave reviewsâ.
The Verdict: One for the future
Sanusi has been hailed an âexcitingâ player by Birminghamâs U21s manager Steve Spooner and he would be a great signing for the future of Chelsea.
The talented prospect naturally operates on the left wing but offers wonderful versatility having also operated down the right and as a centre-forward throughout his career so far.
Sanusi is also an England youth international having been capped for both the U16s and U15s sides, so has a bright future ahead of him, quite possibly at Stamford Bridge.
