Bristol City have joined the race to sign Chelsea striker Shumaira Mheuka on loan next season.
Ontheminute.com understands the Championship side are showing interest in the 18-year-old, who is also being monitored by Reading and Wigan Athletic.
Chelsea are expected to assess Mheuka during pre-season before deciding whether to send him out for his first proper senior loan.
Mheuka has become one of the most exciting forwards in Chelsea’s academy after a stunning campaign at Under-21 level. He was named Premier League 2 Player of the Season and helped the Blues win the PL2 title.
Bristol City could offer a higher-level test than League One, which may appeal to Chelsea if they believe he is ready for Championship football.
Reading and Wigan, however, may be able to provide a clearer route to regular starts.
Chelsea’s final decision is likely to depend on minutes, role and development pathway.
