Earlier this month, Chelsea were linked with a move for Lyon starlet Willem Geubbels as they looked to bring in another top young talent but so far a deal has yet to be agreed.
The 16-year-old striker has broken into the Lyon first-team setup this season and became the youngest player to feature in the Europa League in the process but the teenager is now considering his options given the interest in him.
Chelsea, along with Bundesliga clubs Bayern Munich and Red Bull Leipzig have entered talks with the player’s entourage regarding a deadline day move.
Lyon themselves are holding talks with the player in a bid to convince him to stay at the club and are ready to offer him a professional contract in order to stay.
Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg made an approach to sign the teenager during the January transfer window but his agent has informed the club to stop in their efforts given the considerable interest in his client from Champions League clubs.
Fellow Premier League sides Liverpool and Tottenham are also interested in the France U17 international but if he’s to leave Lyon then Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Red Bull Leipzig are at the front of the queue.
