Chelsea are reportedly ahead of their rivals in the race to sign Bundesliga starlet Nnamdi Collins.

BILD claim the Blues are poised to beat Manchester City to the 16-year-old’s signature and could be ready to put together a tempting package to bring him to London.

Sport Witness say the teenager has made a name for himself at Borussia Dortmund and is believed to be almost as fast on the pitch as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Bundesliga giants hope to keep hold of the Germany Under-16 captain.

The club is planning to move him into their Under-19s team.
