Chelsea are chasing Nacional Montevideo striker Martin Satriano.
The Sun says Manchester City and Liverpool have also been tracking the teenager, who has an EU passport and is set for a move away from South America.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are prepared to take him to Spain to overlook his development in Europe.
But the youngster now has an English agent, Nick Maytum of TMG Football, which may put Premier League clubs at the front of the queue.
