Chelsea eye Murcia starlet

The 20-year-old has featured heavily in Segunda Division Murcia's promotion drive and he is understood to have a five million euro release clause in his contract, with the club aware of the interest.

"The news is correct, but we are waiting for a key meeting between the clubs to make the definitive move," agent Pablo Garcia Quilon told SkySports.

"Murcia have known of the subject from the beginning."

The player himself has said he would be keen on the "challenge" of moving to the Premier League.
