"The Blues have done superb work with signings like Estevao Willian, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer in recent times, and they're set to continue their policy of recruiting elite young talents to long-term contracts. As first reported here for the Daily Briefing, Chelsea are now confident in their approach as Enzo Maresca's side make great progress this season, while their policy of offering players long-term deals is also expected to give them an advantage in the race for the best talents."
"Chelsea are the latest top club to look closely at Lille midfielder Bouaddi, with Manchester United also understood to be very keen on the Frenchman. On top of that, CFC also really like Metz striker Madjo, still only 16 years of age, and it seems likely that these two names will feature high up in the west London club's plans in upcoming transfer windows."
"Bouaddi may already look like a bit of an ambitious deal, however, due to the 18-year-old already having so many suitors. Bouaddi has been part of the Lille first-team for a few years now, and he's shown he's very much the real deal. Chelsea would surely be a tempting project for him, but he might also fancy his chances of playing more at a club like Man Utd."
Chelsea are confident of securing Lille midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi and Metz striker Brian Madjo as young long-term signings. The club recently signed Estevao Willian, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer and continues recruiting youngsters to long-term contracts. Enzo Maresca's side are making strong progress this season, strengthening Chelsea's position in transfer races. Manchester United are also keen on Bouaddi, making that transfer competitive. Strasbourg could act as a stepping stone for Bouaddi to gain more Ligue 1 experience before a Premier League move. The move for Bouaddi faces challenges because Chelsea have significant midfield depth and Bouaddi has many suitors.
