Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly ready to battle it out for the signing of Feyenoord wonderkid Tahith Chong.
The 15-year-old will be allowed to leave the Eredivisie outfit when he turns 16 in December, and the Premier League giants are vying to bring him to England.
The forward is already said to have held talks with Louis van Gaal’s United, but the Londoners are hoping they can persuade the Netherlands Under-16 star to move to Stamford Bridge instead.
Chong, who can play in midfield or as a striker, is known for his pace, technical ability and his goalscoring.
