Chelsea are aiming to trump Real Madrid for 14 year-old Angolan starlet Elvio do Rosario.
But with only refugee papers, he will be forced to move back to Angola when he is 18 unless a solution can be found.
The young striker's foster mum, Manon van Overdeek, said: "Yes I have had contact with Chelsea, but as far as I know it will be impossible for my foster son to play for the club because he is a refugee and doesn't have a passport.
"But if Chelsea want him, there might be a way of bending the rules, but we haven't put any thought into moving."
