Young Swedish striker Edwin Andersson will reportedly join Chelsea despite interest from Manchester United, his father claims.
The West London side have been hit with a two-window ban starting in the summer, but that hasn’t stopped the Blues from eyeing up potential signings.
Speaking about his son’s future, as reported by local Swedish outlet Expressen, Mikael Andersson claims that the player has chosen to join the Premier League side.
Speaking to Expressen, Mikael Andersson said: “There have been an incredible number of clubs from virtually all countries that have been interested in him.
“But he has chosen to go to Chelsea when it’s time. According to the rules he must be 16 first and then it is up to the clubs to agree.
“There’s still some details, but the day it’s time he has decided that it’ll be Chelsea.
“It is a chance you can take if the package is right. They have very good education and care about you as a human being, which one might not believe.”

He added: “It is the dream of every boy to have such an opportunity, that is where we are now. But it should be the right conditions, otherwise it will be nothing.
“He’s pretty much like Callum Hudson-Odoi at Chelsea. When he was younger, he was a little more like Ronaldo. He mainly stays on the left.”
While the Swedish newspaper quote IFK academy director Jonas Olsson as saying: “We do not want to comment on this.”
