Chelsea are stepping up their interest in Benfica wonderkid Goncalo Guedes, sending scouts ahead of a potential transfer bid.

The 18-year-old winger is regarded as one of Europe’s brightest young talents, with Arsenal already having shown some interest.

According to Portuguese source O Jogo, Chelsea have sent scouts to watch him in action five times.

Guedes has drawn comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo, and will surely have a decision to make soon on where he sees his future.

Chelsea have a reputation for bringing in talented youngsters and loaning them out to gain experience.

Guedes, a winger, came up through Benfica’s youth system, progressing through the juniors team and Benfica B.

He made his first-team debut last year against Sporting de Covilha in a Portuguese Cup tie. He is also the youngest Portuguese player to score in the Champions League group stages, finding the net against Atletico Madrid in September.

His performances have earned him rave reviews, and a first international call-up, for friendlies this month against Russia and Luxembourg.
