Chelsea keeping tabs on Bayern Munich teen Torben Rhein?

Chelsea are keeping tabs on teenage Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Torben Rhein, according to a report.

The 16-year-old has appeared five times for Germany at Under-16s level and is considered a star of the future in his homeland.

Rhein is under contract with Bayern until 2021, but the Daily Mail claims that Chelsea have been monitoring his progress and could make a move.

However, the Blues are currently banned from registering new players until next summer and are therefore expected to bide their time before making an approach.

Rhein scored 12 times in 26 appearances for Bayern's Under-17s side last season to further enhance his reputation.
