According to Football Insider, Chelsea have given Ashley Akpan permission to travel to Leeds United next week for a trial.
The defender is reported to be on the radar of Yorkshire and Championship rivals Leeds and Huddersfield Town.
The report has claimed that the 15-year-old defender will arrive at Thorp Arch for a trial next week other rather than this week as initially planned.
One for the future
Akpan is only 15 years of age, but the teenager is hugely talented and has a lot of potential.
Leeds have one of the best youth academies in England, and the West Yorkshire outfit have a history of producing promising talents.
Promotion push
