Premier League champions Chelsea are keen on signing 16-year-old Sam Francis Schreck, from St Pauli.
German media outlet BILD have reported that the West London club are being joined in the race for Schreck’s signature by both Inter Milan and Real Madrid. The 16-year-old hasn’t even been involved in the second division of German football as of yet.
Coach Joachim Philipkowski has stated his intent to not fast track the players progression by adding him to the first team squad, because it’s too soon for the youngster.
He told Bild:
It makes us proud to have such a player in our ranks.
“This is also a compliment for our work. Sam is a great talent, is already well-known for his games for the German U16s.â€
