# Southampton monitoring Chelsea youngster Taylor-Crossdale

Southampton are showing an interest in signing Chelsea youngster Martell Taylor-Crossdale, according to the [https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/transfer-news-live-liverpool-arsenal-14971564](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/transfer-news-live-liverpool-arsenal-14971564)*[Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/transfer-news-live-liverpool-arsenal-14971564)*.

The 19-year-old’s contract at Stamford Bridge expires this summer and there is every chance he will move on.

The Blues are yet to agree terms on a new deal and the young striker may feel that first-team opportunities are more likely to come his way elsewhere.

Despite having a big reputation at Chelsea, it is difficult to see where playing time will be given to him, even though a two-window transfer ban could still come their way.

Championship side Bristol City, currently chasing promotion to the Premier League, are also rumoured to be monitoring Taylor-Crossdale’s progress.

Chelsea’s west London rivals Fulham are another club to have been linked with the promising teenager.
