Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Genk's 18-year-old wonderkid Konstantinos Karetsas, who has 15 assists in 35 games this season. The €28m-rated midfielder is also being tracked by Manchester City, potentially triggering a bidding war that could drive his price closer to €40m.

The 18-year-old fits Chelsea's transfer strategy of targeting young players between 18-23 years old for development, with the club expected to make several such signings this summer alongside potential first-team additions.
