The latest report has linked Chelsea with moves to make another addition to the club with Norwich City star Alex Matos being the target.

This was made public by popular transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

According to Romano, Matos is set to join the west London club on a free transfer, with the deal to include add-ons.

The Blues are said to be keen on having a very strong Under-21 side for next season, with Jim Fraser, the club’s head of youth development and recruitment, having identified Matos, 18, as a player with much potential.

Matos can play effectively as a central midfielder or out wide.

So far this season, the 18-year-old has made 13 appearances for Norwich’s Under-21 team in the second tier of Premier League 2 and has created three assists.

Matos signed a scholarship contract with Norwich in the summer of 2021.
