According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are both interested in signing MK Dons defender Callum Brittain after his promising displays in League One.
The MK Dons academy has helped bring through a number of young players, including Brendan Galloway, Sheyi Ojo and, most prominently, Spurs ace Dele Alli.
Alli’s rise to stardom since signing for Spurs in 2015 has led a number of other clubs to consider rising talents from the Football League, with Everton in particular looking down the pyramid.

Now though, Tottenham could try a similar move again, as the Daily Mail report that Spurs want to raid MK Dons again, this time to sign teenage defender Callum Brittain.
Brittain, 19, has also come up through the ranks at stadium mk, and whilst he only made his first-team debut earlier this year, he has caught the eye for the Dons.
The right back, who can also play further forward, has now made 18 appearances for MK Dons, and has even won his first cap for the England Under-20’s this season too.
Now, Tottenham are believed to be interested in luring Brittain to North London alongside fellow Dons academy graduate Alli, but Mauricio Pochettino and co may have to move quickly to land him.
London rivals Chelsea are also thought to be interested in Brittain, and may well be plotting to try and beat Tottenham to the teenager’s signature during the January transfer window.
