Chelsea eyeing Bayer Leverkusen youngster Florian Wirtz

Bayer Leverkusen youngster Florian Wirtz could be heading to Chelsea this summer.

After selling former Leverkusen star Kai Havertz to Arsenal, Chelsea could be bringing in another Bundesliga star.

Wirtz, who has a huge reputation in Germany after an outstanding season, could be ready to make a big money move away.

Per transfer insider Simon Phillips, Wirtz is a target for Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino.

Wirtz managed four goals in all competitions last season, but was still a creative force.

Mundo Deportivo has reported that he would cost any club a fee in the region of £60 million.
