Chelsea Consider Cheeky Move for £22m Rated Tottenham Youngster

Carlo Ancelotti is rumoured to be plotting a cheeky move to sign Tottenham’s highly rated wide man Gareth Bale as the Blues boss looks to inject more youth into his Stamford Bridge side. The Welsh international has become a target for a number of Europe’s elite with the likes of AC Milan and Real Madrid reportedly considering moves for the 21 year old and now it appears Chelsea have joined an ever growing list of potential suitors.

 After a sticky start at White Hart Lane the former Southampton man has matured into one of the best left sided players in Europe after a year of consistently effective performances that have helped his north London side into the Champions League.
Chelsea have started to bring in young signings as Ancelotti builds the next generation of talent and would like to lure Bale to be part of the club’s future. Having signed the likes of Daniel Sturridge, Ross Turnbull and Ramires coupled with fine up and coming youngsters coming through the club’s academy including hot prospect Josh McEachran, the west London side is hoping to tempt others to join the all conquering champions elect.
Harry Redknapp will fight off interest in the attack minded Welshman who is valued by some as much as £22m. Manchester City are also said to be interested in Bale and if Tottenham fail to secure another top four finish then some may feel the youngster may have his head turned by interest from the Premier League champions.
Anyone who feels such a move unlikely would do well to remember that the Blues are no averse to pinching young talent from their London rivals as evidenced by moves to bring Frank Lampard and Joe Cole to the club some years back.
