21-year-old Chelsea ace who impressed on loan last season attracting interest from two European clubs | OneFootball

Chelsea youngster Harvey Vale is attracting interest from three clubs ahead of the January transfer window according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

Vale is a product of Chelsea’s famed Cobham academy, but he’s struggled to make an impact on the first team picture at Stamford Bridge.

The 21-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and it seems unlikely he will be offered a new deal by the club, whilst there was plenty of interest in him over the summer.

If the Blues want to get an transfer fee for Vale then they will have to sell him in the January window or risk losing him on a free.

Vale spent last season on loan at League One side Bristol Rovers where he made 47 appearances in all competitions scoring three goals and providing six assists.

The Cobham graduate is very versatile and can play at left back, in midfield and on either wing, which could well appeal to potential suitors.

Jacobs has reported that Vale is attracting interest from three clubs, two in Europe ahead of a potential January exit.

He took to X.com and said:

“Understand Harvey Vale is attracting interest from Anderlecht, Heerenveen and Sunderland. Alfie Gilchrist also has suitors for January but the expectation is he remains at Sheffield United on loan until summer.”

Vale has made two appearances for the first team this season in the Conference League against Astana and Shamrock Rovers, whilst he has three goals and five assists in seven Premier League 2 appearances.

In total the versatile youngster has made seven appearances for the Blues during his time at the club, although he’s not seen a single minute of action in the Premier League.

Vale was close to a move to Saudi Arabia over the summer but that fell through, although it now seems a Chelsea exit is very close in what will be a move that suits all parties.
