The youngster’s list of suitors is said to include Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and Charlton Athletic.
Manchester City, Tottenham Hostpur, Leicester City and Charlton Athletic are among the clubs keen on Dutch teen Sam Lautenschutz, according to the Sun.
The newspaper claims it is Chelsea, however, who lead the race for his signature.
And Chelsea, City, Tottenham, Leicester and Charlton – as well as the Eredivisie giants, Ajax – could learn this month whether or not the Volendam midfielder will join them, with a decision over his future ‘expected’ to be made.
The Blues will hope that Lautenschutz, who is just 15 years old, fails to follow in the footsteps of Jayden Braaf (below, left), who reportedly snubbed them to join Manchester City earlier this year.
Of the English clubs linked with Lautenschutz – Chelsea, City, Tottenham, Leicester and Charlton – it is Maurizio Sarri’s side that have arguably the worst track record when it comes to blooding young players.
Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham, Leicester, Charlton or other – which club would you choose if you were in Lautenschutz’s shoes?
