Report: U.S. youth international Kyle Scott submits Chelsea transfer request

United States Under-18 international Kyle Scott has requested a transfer from Chelsea amid interest from clubs across the continent.

Scott joined the Blues from Southampton as an Under-10 and has since proved an exciting prospect in midfield, playing a pivotal role in Chelsea winning the UEFA Youth League in consecutive seasons. He has also represented England at the under-16 level and Ireland's Under-17s.

Compatriot Matt Miazga joined from the New York Red Bulls in January and Scott only agreed to a contract extension until 2019 last February, but ESPN FC's Peter O'Rourke understands he has requested an exit from the reigning Premier League champion.
