Despite having only played a grand total of 12 minutes of first team football it appears Nottingham Forest’s Patrick Bamford, has done enough to convince Chelsea he is worth more than a million pounds.
The Mail is reporting that after watching the forward impress in academy matches, AVB was convinced he has the skills to make it in the Premier League. Subsequently, Chelsea have made an initial bid of £1 million, which may rise to 1.5 in the future.
The England under-18 international really drew the attention of Chelsea scouts when he scored 4 in a FA youth cup game last week. He will undoubtedly spend his first few years out on loan, but is still another exciting young talent to add to Chelsea’s growing stable of starlets. Meanwhile Forest fans may be disappointed they look set to lose one a promising youngster.
