BORUSSIA DORTMUND want to snap up Chelsea starlet Charlie Webster — and then give him the Jadon Sancho treatment.
Webster, 16, is one of the rising stars of the superb Stamford Bridge academy set-up, but could be off to Germany.
Webster was voted player of the tournament in the prestigious Kevin De Bruyne Under-15s Cup in Belgium last season and is now making his way through the Chelsea ranks.
He is a central midfielder and has been capped at England Under-16 and U17 level.
Dortmund have been alerted that he could be available and hope to swoop — just as they did in taking Sancho from Manchester City in 2017.
Webster could be fast-tracked in Germany and aim for the first team in the Bundesliga, rather than waiting in the queue for a Premier League chance at Chelsea.
Sancho — and many other young English players — have made the move to Europe and Webster could be about to join them when the transfer window opens.
Meanwhile, Chelsea continue to match donations for domestic abuse charity Refuge – coronavirus lockdown has seen an increase in incidents of domestic violence.
Women’s boss Emma Hayes said: “For Refuge, the Chelsea support I think is so important.
“We have to keep the awareness at the forefront of people’s minds, when it’s all too easy to forget in our own lives.”
