Chelsea head the race for Charlton's Shelvey
Chelsea have made an approach to League One outfit Charlton Athletic for wonderkid Jonjo Shelvey.
The 17 year old have been a rare highlight of the Addicks season which ended in relegation from the Championship.
The Romford-born midfielder has come through the academy at The Valley at a rapid rate and was handed his first-team debut aged just 16 years and 59 days.
Shelvey is being chased by a number of Premier League clubs and was recently linked with a £3m move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Chelsea are also on the verge of completing the signings of out of contract duo, striker Daniel Sturridge from Manchester City and goalkeeper Ross Turnbull from Middlesbrough, as backup to Peter Cech.
