It has been claimed that Chelsea could be about to lose one of their most promising youngsters this summer.

The Blues have given priority to signing some of the most promising youngsters in world football ever since new owner Todd Boehly took the reins at Stamford Bridge.

The highlight addition up to now has been Kendry Paez, who now regularly features for Ecuador in midfield alongside Moises Caicedo.

They could be about to top that if they are able to secure a deal for Estevao Willian, with the fee being discussed trumping any other they have paid for a youngster up to now.

These dealings do of course come with the risk that they could alienate some of the talent coming through at Cobham.

Ryan McAidoo likely to leave Chelsea

One of those top talents is 15-year-old Ryan McAidoo, who has been featuring as many as three years above his age in the Under 18s.

However, The Secret Scout took to Twitter to state that he is looking like he is going to be on the move this summer, although Manchester City will perhaps not be the ones signing him.

They said: “One player looking very likely to leave is Ryan McAidoo. Rumours with Liverpool since signing with Trent’s brother agency, but no confirmation.

“Whilst Man City have also been linked. However, there’s been a gentleman agreement for years between the clubs to not go for each.”

McAidoo is seen as a really bright prospect, with avid academy watcher Felix Johnston describing him as ‘a great talent’.

Chelsea trying to keep Rio Ngumoha

He is not the only promising young talent who could be on the move this summer, with it stated recently that Rio Ngumoha was also looking for a way out.

However, it has been claimed since that the Blues were going all out to keep hold of him, and were in fact optimistic they could keep hold of him.
