Chelsea are interested in Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh, but Man Utd are said to have earned an advantage.

Chelsea and Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Tromso centre-back Sedi Kinteh. The 19-year-old Gambia international has become a target for a number of European clubs following his debut campaign, and according to a report from The Daily Mail, both Chelsea and Man Utd are considering a formal approach this summer. The left-footed defender is valued by Tromso at approximately €4.6 million and has become a transfer target for Chelsea after their failure to sign Jeremy Jacquet in January. The Daily Mail also reports that Basel and Young Boys are interested in signing the teenager before their transfer window closes on 16 February.

Chelsea has a concrete interest in signing Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh after monitoring his progress for an extended period. A report suggests the Premier League club views Kinteh as a long-term investment rather than an immediate first-team option.
