Chelsea will demand over £10million in compensation from Liverpool for striker Dominic Solanke after he helped England win the Under-20 World Cup.

Solanke has already agreed to join Liverpool, but rules regarding home-grown players aged under 24 dictate that Chelsea are entitled to a fee even though he is out of contract at Stamford Bridge.

Both clubs are far apart in their valuation, with Chelsea dismissing Liverpool's offer of £3m. Unless the Merseyside club can agree a price, it will go to a tribunal next month.

Chelsea were originally expected to ask for around £8m, but Standard Sport understands that Solanke's role at the Under-20 World Cup will be added to their case and increase the sum to £10m plus.

The 19-year-old was the second top scorer in the tournament with four goals as England won their first World Cup at any level since 1966.

Solanke was given the Golden Ball award for being the best player at the championships after England's triumph over Venezuela in the final on Sunday.

That honour has been previously awarded to the likes of Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona and Luis Figo, who all went on to have superb careers.

A player's potential future is one of the factors taken into account when the tribunal meets to decide the price.

Chelsea will also argue that they have trained the forward since he joined their Academy at Under-8 level, that he won FA Youth Cups in 2014 and 2015, plus the Uefa Youth League in 2015.

He has earned over 50 caps at all the England age groups from the Under-16s onwards and was given a professional debut by Chelsea in the Champions League at just 17.

Chelsea will also point to the fact that they were ordered to pay Manchester City £6.5m for Daniel Sturridge when that went to a tribunal back in January 2010 (he officially joined in July 2009).

They had to pay them another £2m when the England international moved to Liverpool for a deal in excess of £12m in 2013 because a 15 per cent sell-on clause was included in the tribunal's findings.

Sturridge did play more first-team games for City (32) than Solanke has for Chelsea (1) before their respective moves, although the latter played a further 25 times on loan for Vitesse Arnhem last season.

The Blues will insist that the latter has achieved more at youth and international level though.

He was also at the club from the start of his career, whereas Sturridge played at Aston Villa and Coventry for six years before moving to Manchester City at the age of 13.
