Chelsea are plotting a shock move for 18-year-old Seb Drozd.

The teenager plays for Isthmian League side Uxbridge, and is on trial with the Brentford B team at present.

According to The Sun, Drozd is impressing scouts, and is a left-footed player who can play as a full-back, wing-back or midfielder.

Drozd came to Chelsea's attention during an AG Football Academy showcase.

He also impressed with QPR's Under-18 side last autumn, scoring three goals in two games.

A source close to Drozd said: "His style is perhaps a throwback and is similar to Damien Duff or Chris Waddle when in wide areas, but he has pace.

"He also has a very deceptive body swerve.

"Seb can also play as a wingback and is good defensively as he's been playing non-League football where he has had to maintain defensive duties."
