The Blues have had the talented youngster on their radar over the past year, but failed in their bid to lure the 17-year-old.

The Mail now claims that the West London outfit have beaten the likes of Arsenal, Ajax and Udinese to capture the teenager's signature for a fee of £2.3m from his parent club Viitorul Constanta.

Manea is expected seal a five-year deal with the Blues in the summer, before joining either Real Mallorca or Vitesse Arnhem on a season-long loan.
