Chelsea have joined the race for Celtic youngster Daniel Kelly.

The Daily Express says Chelsea are one of five Premier League teams set to battle for the signature of Kelly, according to reports.

The Blues are supposedly monitoring the 15-year-old prodigy after Kelly turned heads working his way up the age groups in Scotland.

Chelsea have established a reputation as a club that nurtures youth talent following Frank Lampard's appointment at Stamford Bridge last summer.

The Blues boss was forced to call on academy graduates including Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Reece James this season due to the club's transfer ban preventing new players from being signed.

Scouts have reportedly been impressed by what they've seen from the Hoops prospect, who has starred for the Under-15s side all the way up to the Under-18s.

In addition to Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are part of the pack keeping tabs on the box-to-box midfielder while Leicester and Tottenham are also credited as holding an interest.
