Chelsea determined to win race for MLS wonderkid Julian Hall after extensive scouting mission with Man Utd, Man City & Real Madrid also tracking 15-year-old

  • Chelsea eyeing move for American wonderkid
  • Hall signed contract extension with New York RB
  • Several European giants interested in the player

WHAT HAPPENED? The Blues have been monitoring the player's progress since he played against them in a U-15s Generation adidas Cup match in April. The Premier League side were keen on bringing the 15-year-old forward to Cobham for a trial before he turned 16 in January, but the player has now signed a contract extension with MLS club New York Red Bulls through to 2026. The Evening Standard reports that Chelsea still want to sign Hall and will aim to win the race for his signature ahead of United, City, Real and Bayern Munich.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: With a new deal in place, Hall's current club now has the power to reject a trial offer from Chelsea. In fact, the club could consider sending him to their sister clubs RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg to further nurture his talent in Europe.
