Ben Chilwell: Chelsea announce transfer from Leicester City
Chelsea are leading the race to sign Ajax teenager Amourricho van Axel Dongen, it's been claimed. The 15-year-old has been scouted by the likes of Manchester United and their rivals Manchester City too.
The Blues have already had an extravagant summer of spending, bringing six new signings to the club.
Around £135million has been spent on Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner and Ben Chilwell while Thiago Silva, Malang Sarr and Xavier Buyamaba have joined for free.
Chelsea want to ensure they can compete with Liverpool and City next season for the Premier League title.

Lampard, who wants a new goalkeeper, has Ajax's Andre Onana on his shortlist to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Lampard has said of his defensive signings so far that he's looking for more leadership, especially from Silva.
"We have a relatively young squad, we saw that last year, there were games afterwards when I was probably asking for more voice and some more leadership in different ways and Silva brings that naturally straightaway.
"On those levels I hope he brings that.
