Ajax want Blues’ kid

- BY DARREN LEWIS

CHELSEA rising star Adrian Akande has been targeted by Ajax and RB Leipzig.

Highly-rated Akande, 15, has chosen to play for Nigeria over an England call-up for the prestigiou­s Montaigu Tournament.

Akande will represent the Golden Eaglets at the Africa Under-17 Cup of Nations in Tanzania.

Chelsea want to tie the two-footed attacker to a new contract. But Akande could follow the likes of Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson in moving abroad.
