Manchester United Submit Offer to Sign 17-Year-Old From Championship Club
Chelsea lead transfer race for teenage defender Yisa Alao with an initial £500,000 fee and potential add-ons exceeding £1 million, amid Sheffield Wednesday's financial needs.
- Wednesday, Chelsea FC have emerged as frontrunners in talks to sign Sheffield Wednesday defender Yisa Alao while Manchester United and Liverpool also show interest.
- Financial strain under former owner Dejphon Chansiri has forced Sheffield Wednesday to consider offers, and manager Henrik Pedersen recently acknowledged the need to sell players.
- Alao has made his first-team breakthrough last month, making two Championship appearances and completing 63 minutes in his full debut against Portsmouth last week, while scouts praise his athleticism.
- The deal would likely include performance add-ons that could push it past 1million, with Alao probably joining Chelsea's development squad after United's 450,000 bid was rejected before Christmas.
- Brexit has shifted clubs toward domestic recruitment, aligning with Chelsea's youth focus as competition among Chelsea, United and Liverpool intensifies for homegrown teenager Alao.
