Chelsea youngster Mason Burstow is now starting to receive a lot of attention in the transfer market.
That is according to a report from The Evening Standard.
Mason Burstow, who’s just 19, is an exciting young striker that Chelsea signed from Charlton Athletic back in 2022.
The young centre-forward starred in the Blues Under-21 side last season and is currently working with the first team during their pre-season tour in the United States.
There’s now speculation that several clubs want to sign the highly-rated Englishman, though.
The Evening Standard explains that Chelsea have had ‘significant transfer interest’ in Burstow so far this summer.
It is understood that clubs have come forward with loan offers, while others want to sign the teenage striker on a permanent basis.
The report says that Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has been quite impressed by the Chelsea youngster since he started working with him during pre-season. In fact, he could play in this weekend’s pre-season friendly against Brighton.
Our preference would be to see Chelsea send Burstow out on a season-long loan during the upcoming campaign.
It’s great news that he’s working as part of the senior Blues camp during pre-season, especially if he gets an opportunity to play in some games. The fact Pochettino has taken a liking to him bodes very well for his future, too.
However, Chelsea appear to be entering the new season with first-team options of Armando Broja, Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson for the striker role.
We should see if a side in the Championship is prepared to loan Burstow, who’s a talented frontman with an eye for goal.
