Chelsea are set to beat Manchester United to Swedish super kid Edwin Andersson.

The Blues have reportedly agreed a deal to bring Andersson to Stamford Bridge - despite having a transfer ban looming over them.

The West London side have been hit with a two-window ban starting in the summer, but that hasn't stopped the Blues from eyeing up potential signings.

Andersson, 15, is currently at Swedish outfit IFK Gothenburg and trained with Manchester United last year.

Speaking to Expressen, Dad Mikael Andersson said: "There have been an incredible number of clubs from virtually all countries that have been interested in him.

"But he has chosen to go to Chelsea when it's time. According to the rules he must be 16 first and then it is up to the clubs to agree.

“There's still some details, but the day it's time he has decided that it'll be Chelsea.

“It is a chance you can take if the package is right. They have very good education and care about you as a human being, which one might not believe."
