Chelsea leading big club battle to land Sheffield Wednesday prospect Alao

The 17 year-old left-back is being chased by the country's biggest clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United.

However, the Sheffield Star says Chelsea are winning the battle to land Alao.

The agreement would include a high six-figure upfront fee and significant add-ons.

And it's suggested Alao will move to Chelsea immediately this month, with the likelihood of him being registered with the U21 team.
