Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund are interested in Senegal defensive prospect Mikayil Faye.
The 18-year old centre back is a product of the renowned Diambars FC academy and plays in Croatia for NK Kustosija, another club with a reputation for developing young players.
Nicknamed 'The Monster', Faye is viewed as a player of great potential. He has earned plaudits for his no-nonsense defending and marauding style. He can play across the defence but is predominantly left footed and has impressed scouts playing for his club and Senegal U17s.
French sides Marseille and Reims wanted to sign him last summer but he stayed in Croatia as interest built from Europe's more elite clubs.
Chelsea and Dortmund are developing reputations for snapping up talented teenagers across the globe.
Dortmund try to offer a quicker pathway to their first team while Chelsea are exploring the prospect of investing in partnership clubs with the likes of Strasbourg in France or Sporting Lisbon where some of their squad could be loaned.
Kustosija are expecting bids this month as Faye continues to draw interest.
