Chelsea have received a boost in the race for Paris Saint-Germain’s prodigy Kays Ruiz-Atil after the teenager reportedly rejected a new contract.
Ruiz-Atil, dubbed the new Lionel Messi, is being tipped for big things after becoming the youngest outfield player to sign a pro contract at Paris Saint-Germain.
Chelsea tried to sign the 17 year old during the January transfer window but a move for the teenager failed to materialise.
Ruiz-Atil is keen on leaving PSG after rejecting a contract extension with his current contract expected to expire next summer. PSG were hoping to tie him down until 2024 with the fresh terms on the table.
The 17-year-old can operate in central midfield, on the left wing or as an outright striker and expects to train with the first team at Chelsea if he makes the move to London.
