Chelsea have reportedly missed out on the signing of Feyenoord youngster Tahith Chong.
The 16-year-old was a transfer target for the Blues, but it appears as if Manchester United have won the race for the Dutch prodigy after confirming he is close to securing a move to Old Trafford.
Chong told Elf Voetbal: "It was my intention to stay at Feyenoord, but no plan was made for me.
"When I said I wanted to leave, they made a plan. That was too late.
"At Manchester United I had a better feeling.
"You can feel it immediately when you walk in a club."
Arsenal are plotting a move for wantaway Chelsea striker Dominic Solanke, according to reports.
The 18-year-old is currently on loan at Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem and has one year remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
It is understood the youngster has made huge wage demands of £50,000-a-week to the Blues as talks over a new deal continue.
However, The Sun claim if these demands are not met he will look to secure a move elsewhere - with Arsenal said to be weighing up a move for him.
The report adds Solanke will consider a pay cut if the Gunners give him first-team assurances.
