“?Chelsea are keen on tying up a deal for PSV Eindhoven starlet Steven Bergwijn, according to respected Italian journalist “?Gianluca di Marzio.
The 18-year-old was promoted into the first-team ranks at the Philips Stadion at the beginning of the season and he went on to make a handful of substitute appearances, including playing a starring role in a dramatic 2-1 victory over CSKA Moscow in the Champions League back in December.
PSV will be eager to hold onto the talented teenager but he is represented by super-agent Jorge Mendes, who infamously shares a solid relationship with the Blues.
Chelsea have a plethora of promising talent at their disposal but it’s notoriously difficult to crack the starting eleven.
Jonathan Atsu, Marco van Ginkel, Nathaniel Chalobah and Isaiah Brown make up only a small percentage of the players tipped for greatness that have been shunted out on loan by the Blues.
Reuben Loftus-Cheek is on the cusp of cementing his place in the first-team squad but he has faced plenty of struggles, so Bergwijn, who has represented the Netherlands’ youth sides, might consider honing his skills in the Eredvisie for a few more years.
The pacey attacker signed a new contract with PSV in October that runs until 2020 but Antonio Conte, who will take control of the Stamford Bridge managerial reins after the European Championships, could be tempted to snap him up this summer.
