Report: Chelsea sign Swedish teenage midfielder Joseph Colley

Chelsea have beaten Manchester United to the signing of highly-rated Swedish youngster Joseph Colley, according to reports.

The 16-year-old midfielder, deemed by sources within the game as the 'new Paul Pogba', currently plies his trade for Brommapojkarna.

Dali Savic, the club's Under-19 coach, is quoted by the Express as saying: "I saw his quality from the first training session we had and I knew that he was going to Chelsea.

"I don't know what plan Chelsea has for him, but I hope and think he is good enough for Chelsea from day one. We have a good relation with Chelsea and the communication between the clubs has been excellent."

Brommapojkarna were relegated from the Allsvenskan in the 2014 season.
