Chelsea are preparing to reach an agreement with 16-year-old Nigerian talent Abduljelil Kamaldeen.
After failing to make a fast start to the season, Chelsea have shifted their transfer policy towards young prospects.
Investments are being made both for the first team and the academy. For this reason, Chelsea are closely following the U20 World Cup.
Despite being only 16 years old, Kamaldeen has already had the chance to feature in this tournament. He is even expected to start in tomorrow’s match against Saudi Arabia.
The young player can operate both as a number 10 and a left winger. Due to his playmaking ability and speed, he has been compared to Alex Iwobi.
His talent is so impressive that scouts believe even if a move to Chelsea does not materialise, he is certain to secure a transfer to Europe.
