Southampton defender Shaw has attracted interest from a number of top Premier League sides this season, with Chelsea looking like the frontrunners for his summer signature over London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal. The highly-rated 17-year-old has made 23 appearances for the Saints this season, prompting rumours of a £16.5m valuation. While Tottenham have recently emerged as suitors for Shaw, the England youth international made it abundantly clear during a Twitter Q&A with his fans that he would prefer a move to Chelsea over Spurs or the Gunners.

When asked on the social network site who his favourite club was, Shaw bluntly replied "Chelsea."



The Kingston Upon Thames youngster then answered "blueeeeeee" to the question of what his favourite colour was, in a second hint to his near-50,000 Twitter following.



The teenager was also quizzed about the best player he has swapped shirts with this season, for which he replied "Ashley Cole".



Ironically, Shaw could eventually become Cole's successor at the Bridge, as he made a subtle 'come and get me' plea to the West London outfit ahead of the summer transfer window.
