League Two in England is hardly a prime hunting ground for Premier League clubs, especially those in the mid-table. Yet even the top teams are starting to cast their eyes on the talents emerging from these ranks.
Details: According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal and Chelsea are closely monitoring Swindon Town youth player Ben Head. The youngster has already been called up to England's U15 squad, and at club level, he is competing with much older opposition in the U18 team.
Scouts from Arsenal, Chelsea, and West Ham are showing significant interest in the young central defender, who can also slot in at left-back. After receiving positive reports, it is expected that these clubs will make further inquiries.
Reminder: Chelsea themselves have not hesitated to give opportunities to players only slightly older than Head in their first team. In a recent match against Djurgården, academy product Reggie Walsh became the youngest ever player to start for Chelsea in a European competition.
