Chelsea & Man Utd watching Flamengo wonderkid

Chelsea and Manchester United have scouts watching Flamengo midfielder Lorran, according to reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Blues have signed several South American youngsters over the past year and it is unsurprising that they are tracking the 17-year-old.

Lorran became the youngest ever goalscorer in Flamengo's history earlier this year and he has been touted to secure a bigger club soon.

He won't be allowed to leave until his 18th birthday next summer, but clubs are already exploring a pre-agreement with Flamengo for him.

The teenager currently has a release clause worth €50m in his contract and Flamengo are likely to hold out for the fee to sanction his exit.

Aside from the Premier League duo, Barcelona are also tracking the youngster, who shares the same agents as Vinicius Junior.

Lorran is an attacking midfielder by trade. He has caught the eye with his dribbling, creative passes as well as his physical presence.

He has the potential to become a future star in European football.
