Chelsea sets sights on Cape Town City’s young talent. Who is in the spotlight?

In recent years, Chelsea has been actively searching for young and promising footballers to strengthen their squad. Now, the London club has turned its attention to the African continent.

Details: According to The South African, Chelsea is interested in Cape Town City player and South Africa U-17 international Emile Witbooi. The Londoners are planning to invite the 16-year-old for a trial. They were impressed by his skills during a previous scouting session and are ready to integrate him into their U-18 team.

It is also reported that much will depend on the upcoming U-17 World Cup.

Quote: "It is believed they want to see how he performs at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar later this year. Although at the moment, Chelsea is considered the favorite," the report states.

Reminder: Chelsea will trigger the release clause in Liam Delap’s contract with the team that was relegated from the Premier League, amounting to €30 million. The player himself is expected to sign a contract with the recent Europa Conference League champions within the next 24 hours.
