Taking to Twitter, Romano has claimed that the one-cap starlet ‘wants to join’ the Blues as the Premier League clubs battle for the sought-after youngster.

Last season, the talented youngster scored three times and provided one assist in 41 appearances across all competitions, earning a 6.85 Sofascore rating whilst winning 3.4 duels and making 1.5 tackles on average per Ligue 1 outing – highlighting his impressive battling qualities.
