Premier League duo Chelsea and West Ham are said to be interested in signing young non-league goalkeeper Tarek Najia.
According to the Mirror, as cited on West London Sport, both teams are keeping tabs on the Dagenham & Redbridge shot-stopper.
Najia is highly rated at the National League side, despite not yet making a senior appearance for the club.
At the age of just 17, Chelsea are said to be keen on snapping him up as one for the future.
The National League side have struggled financially in recent years and the sale of a promising youngster could go a long way for the club who now play in the fifth tier of English football.
He is currently the club’s third-choice goalkeeper after playing a key role in their academy side, who reached the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup last season.
His performances for the Daggers have clearly not gone unnoticed by those in the Premier League.
