Juventus tracking Chelsea and Manchester United target

Juventus are monitoring highly rated Birmingham teenager Jude Bellingham, claims The Daily Mail.

Bellingham has emerged as one of most sought after talents in England in the last six months.

Manchester United failed to prise the 16-year-old from the Championship outfit in January and Chelsea and Juventus have since entered the race for his signature.

Birmingham cannot offer Bellingham a professional contract until he turns 17 on June 29 and the Blues expect to face competition from Europe's biggest clubs.

Bellingham, who currently pockets £145-a-week as a Birmingham scholar, is set for a huge pay rise in the summer.

The England Under-17 international has emerged as a key player for Birmingham this season, featuring in 28 of a possible 32 league games for Pep Clotet's side.

Bellingham has returned four goals and registered two assists in that time and is valued in the region of £50m by his boyhood club.

Commanding anything close to that figure would shatter the record fee paid for a British teenager, previously set when United signed Luke Shaw from Southampton for £31m in the summer of 2014.
