Chelsea are among Premiership clubs tracking Port Vale goalkeeper Joe Anyon.
Anyon's impressive performances for the struggling League One side have alerted Chelsea, Manchester City and Everton. All three could swoop as soon as January because the youngster is seen as such hot property.
New boss Lee Sinnott would be sad to see the teenager leave Vale Park but would welcome the £500,000 fee as he tries to steer his side away from the relegation battle.
