Chelsea and Manchester City monitoring young football talents

Several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester City, are reportedly monitoring high-potential young players in Europe.

Chelsea scouts were present at a recent Club Brugge match against St. Truidense to observe German Under-21 international Nicolo Tresoldi, who scored a hat-trick during the game. Tresoldi has been a transfer target previously, with reports suggesting Club Brugge may demand a club-record fee to sell the striker. Other English clubs, including Arsenal, Tottenham, and Newcastle, are also reportedly interested in the player.

Separately, Manchester City, Chelsea, Juventus, and Real Madrid are reportedly competing for Ajax attacking midfielder Abdellah Ouazane. The 17-year-old Moroccan international is currently under contract with Ajax until 2028, but negotiations for a long-term extension have reportedly stalled due to high wage demands from his representatives.
