Report: Chelsea eye Barcelona youngster Marc Cucurella

Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Barcelona youngster Marc Cucurella.

The 18-year-old, who currently represents Barcelona B, will be out of contract at the end of this season and it is understood that talks over a fresh deal are yet to begin.

According to Sport, Chelsea are closely monitoring developments with the left-back, but the Blues will face competition from Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Everton if they decide to make a move.

Cucurella spent six seasons in Espanyol's youth set-up before joining Barcelona in the summer of 2012. His Barcelona B debut came at home to CE L'Hospitalet on November 26.
