Chelsea On The Verge Of Losing 3 Top Academy Products To Premier League Clubs

Three of Chelsea’s top academy products, Valentino Livramento, Lewis Bate, and Myles Peart-Harris could leave the club soon, as per The Athletic.

All of the 3 stars have only one year left on their remaining deals and are reportedly refusing to sign extensions.

Lewis Bate is one of the most highly-rated midfielders in the country and 5 Premier League clubs, including West Ham and Liverpool, have expressed interest in signing the 18-year-old star.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have offered the teenager a strong deal, but Bate’s major concern is ‘the chance of first-team football in the future rather than financial gain’.

Also, the report adds that some coaches consider Bate even better than Billy Gilmour at the age of 18.
