Chelsea are reportedly determined to sign PEC Zwolle's 15-year-old midfielder Jadiel Pereira da Gama, and face competition from Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. A report from TEAMtalk states that Enzo Maresca’s side is pursuing the Netherlands U17 international. His profile has risen after he became the youngest debutant in Eredivisie history and made seven first-team appearances this season. Several other top-level European teams are also monitoring the player, and a move to the Premier League is reportedly considered his most likely next step. Any transfer to an English top-flight club cannot be completed until January 2028, as he can only move after his 18th birthday on December 15, 2027. The midfielder also holds Cape Verdean nationality, has a contract with PEC Zwolle until June 2028 and has been capped 7 times for the Netherlands U17 team, scoring one goal.
