Chelsea reportedly weigh up a shock swoop for Uxbridge forward Seb Drozd, who is also on the radar of Bournemouth and Manchester City.

Chelsea are supposedly weighing up a move for non-league striker Seb Drozd.

The 18-year-old currently plies his trade with Uxbridge in the Isthmian League and is capable of playing as a midfielder or on the left-hand side of defence.

Drozd is understood to be undergoing trials with Brentford's B team, but he has supposedly caught the eye of Premier League powerhouses Chelsea at a football academy event.

According to The Sun, Chelsea scouts were impressed with Drozd during an AG Football Academy tournament, which gave young players the chance to test themselves against professional teams.

The report adds that Drozd played a starring role in two appearances for Queens Park Rangers's Under-18s last year, netting three times in two games against Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City.

Manchester City and Bournemouth are also said to be keeping a close eye on Drozd's development.
