Chelsea ahead of Spurs, Man City in deal for Dutch whizkid Sam Lautenschutz

Chelsea are chasing a deal for Dutch whizkid Sam Lautenschutz.

The 15-year-old Volendam midfielder has also attracted interest from Manchester City, Tottenham, Leicester and Charlton, says The Sun.

Dutch giants Ajax have also been keeping an eye on the youngster.

A decision on Lautenschutz's future is expected this month.

Chelsea have begun to hit form on the field, with Maurizio Sarri getting off to an impressive start since arriving from Napoli.

And the Blues have a production line of young talent coming through their academy, although they are often criticised for not giving them first-team chances.
