Chelsea Weigh Up Surprise £13m Swoop For Czech Teenage Sensation

Chelsea are considering making a move for Slavia Prague winger Adam Hlozek, according to Bild. The 17-year-old has been in decent form this season, having scored six goals and provided nine assists in 33 appearances.

However, it is believed his future could lie in more central areas, with RB Leipzig said to be keen on the €15m (£13m) rated Czech Under 21 international replacing Timo Werner.

As a winger, it would be difficult to see where Hlozek would fit in at Stamford Bridge with the likes of Hakim Ziyech, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic likely to be ahead of him if he were to join the Blues next season.

If manager Frank Lampard were to consider signing the teenager, it could be as a potential rival for the likes of Werner and Tammy Abraham up front. Even then, though, it would be hard to see where he would get game time, especially if Olivier Giroud also stays beyond the summer.
