Chelsea are among a number of big clubs aross Europe schouting FC Copenhagen teenager Roony Bardghji as the winger continues to attract a lot of attention.
The 18-year-old has already scored seven goals in this season’s Danish Superliga, while his late winner against Manchester United in the Champions League also caught the eye.
The Swede came off the bench to score the final goal in the famous 4-3 win for the Danish side, leaving the Red Devils in a dreadful position in their Champions League group.
Bardghji has not scored since that goal a month ago, but there have been plenty of eyes on him, with Chelsea among those sending scouts to watch him in action.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that the Blues, Juventus, Barcelona and Bayer Leverkusen have all scouted the young winger.
His contract with FC Copenhagen only runs until 2025, so interested parties are confident that a deal can be done at a reasonable price either in January or the summer transfer window in 2024.
The Kuwait-born rising star has made it clear what he wants to do in his career, setting out that he wants to go all the way to the top and play for one team in particular.

He told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet last year: ‘My goal is to become the best footballer in the world. I’ve had that dream since I was a kid and nothing can stop me except myself.
‘I want to end up in Real Madrid. I want to play there for many years.’
