Teenage star Kamara linked with Blues

Calcio Mercato report Chelsea are involved in a battle with Arsenal and AC Milan to sign French teenager Boubacar Kamara from Marseille.

The 19-year-old defender, who can also play in central midfield, has represented France at every age level from Under-17 to Under-20 and attracted attention with his fine form this season as a regular starter for Marseille in Ligue 1.



According to Marseille assistant coach Claude Fichaux, he can be compared to Thiago Silva in terms of his reading of the game and his ability to control the game.

His current contract with Marseille expires in 2020.
