An up-and-coming member of the attacking ranks at La Liga outfit Real Betis has made his way onto the transfer radar of Premier League giants Chelsea.
This comes amid the understanding that the Blues are keeping a close eye on the situation of José Antonio Morante.
Morante, for his part, is a 19-year-old attacker, who chiefly lines out on the right wing, but is also more than capable of taking to the pitch from the left.
The Spanish youth international has long been considered a potential future star in the making, with his standout performance at this summer’s U19 European Championships having since been followed by a La Liga bow, and his first-ever goal in Spain’s top-flight.
With such a glowing reputation, though, comes inevitable outside interest. And according to ABC, after making contact over a potential deal for Morante over the summer, Chelsea are continuing to keep tabs on his development.
It is also noted, though, that the player himself remains intent on succeeding in the colours of Real Betis.
