Chelsea boss Frank Lampard set to battle Atletico Madrid for Stoke's 16-year-old Dutch scoring sensation Mohamed Sankoh

The clamour for Mohamed Sankoh is growing, with Atletico Madrid joining Chelsea in the transfer race for the talented Stoke City youngster.

Sankoh has impressed at Stoke's academy after scoring nine goals and registering nine assists in his 16 appearances for the club's Under 18s, inevitably leading to interest.

On an international stage he has also won the European Under-17 Championship with Holland in 2019 alongside Chelsea defender Ian Maatsen.

Blues boss Frank Lampard and Atletico's Diego Simeone have been keeping an eye on Sankoh and have approached the forward in an attempt to recruit him into their academies.
