Chelsea Ready To Move On Rivals Arsenal For £10 Million Rated Youngster

Chelsea are thought to be interested in signing Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong as they continue to identify potential transfer targets.

Frimpong has appeared for Arsenal four times this season and has caught the eye being compared to Michael Essien by the English pundits but there is reports that Arsene Wenger is becoming frustrated at the 19-year-olds attitude after his clash with former Arsenal player Samir Nasri in last nights Carling Cup game.

Andre Villas-Boas is looking to strengthen his midfield as he is increasingly concerned that his ageing squad are failing to compete with todays younger stars and is keen to build his own squad and Frimpong is thought to be high on the list.

The Ghanian has caught the eye of Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas with impressive performances since his emergence into the first-team squad and these appearances could see Chelsea make a bid of around £10 million in January.
