As we know, Chelsea like to get the young talents before they become too big and too expensive, and it looks like that is what they are trying to do here with this situation.

“It’s TRUE what’s being reported on Chelsea and Said El Mala. They are following him, several clubs involved, it will be a big fight in the next few weeks for him.”

The reporter confirmed that news on his YouTube channel last night, and continued:

Said El Mala is being followed by Chelsea. Three to four clubs are trying to enter the race. He’s a big, talented German player, super appreciated around Europe.
