Jonathan Viera

Skysports.com understands that Chelsea and Real Madrid are monitoring the progress of Las Palmas youngster Jonathan Viera.

The 20-year-old winger is a star of the Segunda Division in Spain and is reported to be valued in the region of €7million (£6m).

Scouts from several clubs across Europe are monitoring Viera, with Chelsea and Jose Mourinho's Real said to be taking an especially keen interest.

But Las Palmas are not overly concerned as Viera is under contract until next summer and would not be able to leave below an asking price.

However, Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, who is beginning to look to a new generation in his ageing squad, could consider testing Las Palmas' resolve in the winter transfer window.

Chelsea had scouts posted for Las Palmas' clash with Villarreal B on the weekend.

Las Palmas' youth production line is famed throughout Spain and Chelsea chief Frank Arnesen had his talent spotters check on four of their youngsters.

Jonathan Viera, Vitolo, David Gonzalez and Alvaro Cejudo are all said to be on Arnesen's notebook, according to local sources.

If this is true, I hope the kid is right footed. Would rather have Jesus Navas though

I don't know him enough for me to say he's worth signing up. I agree with LDN Blue, I would much prefer it is we signed Jesus Navas.
