Youngster Honest Ahanor, whose parents are Nigerians and only turned 18 this week, is wanted by a clutch of Premier League clubs.
Scouts from Chelsea have reportedly watched Honest Ahanor live in recent months.
Chelsea could pursue a structured deal involving a loan spell to accelerate Honest Ahanor’s development before integrating him into their first team.
According to information provided to CaughtOffside by sources close to the agents industry, several Premier League clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal are closely monitoring Ahanor’s progress.
Atalanta currently consider the young defender not for sale and prefer to keep him in Bergamo for at least another season.
