Chelsea interested in Lyon prospect Enzo Molebe
Yesterday at 02:23 PM
Chelsea are closely monitoring Lyon prospect Enzo Molebe (17), according to a report this Friday from Le Parisien. The 17-year-old striker is touted as being one of the most promising 2007-born talents within Olympique Lyonnais’ famed Academy. Molebe only has a couple of minutes of senior playing time this campaign under the tutelage of Lyon head coach Pierre Sage. He came off the bench twice, in Lyon’s Coupe de France R064 opener against fourth-tier side Entente Feignies-Aulnoye and in Lyon’s away Europa League 4-1 win at Qarabag. Molebe is under contract with his formative club until 2027.
The outlet adds that Molebe is unsure whether or not he will remain with Lyon after February 3rd, which is when the winter transfer window closes in most European countries. Le Parisien adds that Molebe is the subject of concrete interest from Chelsea as the Premier League side could go up a gear in their pursuit of the 17-year-old prospect in the coming days. Enzo Maresca’s Blues could sign Molebe to loan him out – logically to BlueCo-owned Ligue 1 side RC Strasbourg – so as to not hamper his development.
