Chelsea striker Daishawn Redan sparks transfer race between Wolfsburg, Mainz and Schalke but Blues will only let teenager go on loan

CHELSEA hotshot Daishawn Redan is the latest Premier League starlet being targeted by clubs in the Bundesliga.

The 18-year-old Dutchman is yet to make a first-team appearance since arriving at Stamford Bridge from Ajax in 2017.

But his form the Blues’ youth sides has caught the eye of several German outfits.

And the Daily Mail claim Wolfsburg, Mainz and Schalke are all keen to snap up striker.

They all hope the possibility of senior top-flight action will help tempt him to quit Chelsea – but the West London giants are ready to battle hard to hold onto their ace.

The Bundesliga trio all want Redan, who still has two years remaining on his contract, on a permanent transfer rather than a loan.

But Chelsea have no interests in selling and have their own plans in place for the next stage of his development.

They want to send him out on loan first with the view of the teen either improving enough to warrant a place in the Blues senior squad or increasing his value to sell him at a later date.

Clubs in Germany have been scouring the UK for years on the lookout for cheap talents.

Jadon Sancho has blossomed into a full England international since quitting Manchester City for Dortmund.

Now Bundesliga sides are casting the net further after the success of Luka Jovic, who sealed a mega £58m move to Real Madrid this week, at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Redan also has a number of teams in the Championship weighing-up a potential swoop.

And he also has options back in his homeland, Spain and Belgium.
