Chelsea and Aston Villa are keeping their eyes on 16-year-old forward Makise Evans ahead of a potential transfer.
According to The Sun, Chelsea and Aston Villa are tracking the progress of young talent Makise Evans. Both clubs are interested in acquiring his services in the near future. The 16-year-old striker currently plays for English club Stevenage and has been impressing scouts with his pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability.
Chelsea are known for their investment in young players. It seems that Evans could be the next prospect on their radar. The teenager has been turning heads in Stevenage’s youth ranks. He has been scoring regularly and demonstrating a level of maturity beyond his age.
His potential has not gone unnoticed. And, it appears that the Blues could be looking to make a move for the promising young forward. The transfer would be a significant step up for Evans. That is because he will be moving from Stevenage’s academy to one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have a strong track record of developing young players and giving them opportunities to succeed, especially in recent years. If Evans were to make the move, he would be joining a club with an excellent track record of nurturing and developing young talents, such as Mason Mount and Reece James.

However, the Blues are not the only ones interested in the 16-year-old. Aston Villa are also keen on having the teenager in their ranks. Scouts from Villa Park are impressed with what they have seen of the teenager who recently became the youngest first-team player in the history of the newly-promoted Boro’s. Evans came off the bench at Mansfield to make his debut at the age of 16 years 248 days.
Chelsea have invested a lot in young players of late. And, they seem to be the favourites in the race for the teenager’s signatures. However, Aston Villa will surely push them all the way for him. While Evans might be ready for the Premier League, he surely has the potential to make it big.
