Zele Ismail

[the wes 7,212]

Chelsea are ready to make a £2million move for Wolves wonder-kid Zele Ismail - the hot prospect dubbed the next Theo Walcott.

The attacker is just 15 but is already the talk of youth football after a series of stunning displays.

Ismail, who moved to the Midlands from Macedonia when he was two, has stunned scouts with his pace and skill, being voted the man of the tournament in the prestigious Milk Cup.

Now Chelsea, determined to splash the cash on the world's best emerging talent, are poised to pounce - although Wolves will demand a record fee for a player of his age.

Ismail, who is expected to represent England despite his Macedonian roots, scored twice against Arsenal in a recent youth team game when he was playing with youngsters three or four years older, and Wolves face a massive fight to keep him.

However, they have Ismail under contract and it would take a proper transfer fee, rather than a compensation tribunal, to allow any move to happen - with all the big clubs monitoring the situation.

Well we need to get him fast or Arsenal will snap him up as usually.

Well if this kid is as good as they say he is and the club are confident of their youth coaches then £2m would be a bargain should we be able to bring him through.

Saying that though how can they have a schoolboy under a proper contract?
