Multiple reports say Chelsea are leading a transfer race for Kerim Alajbegovic, a teenage attacking prospect at Bayer Leverkusen. The claims frame Chelsea as “in pole position” to sign the 18-year-old wing, with links to the club’s current managerial situation also being cited. Yahoo Sports reports that Xabi Alonso is at Stamford Bridge and identifies Chelsea as the firm favourites to complete the deal, referring to Alajbegovic as a Leverkusen sensation.

A separate set of reporting, relayed by Yahoo Sports, draws on a Bosnian portal (Faktor) and transfer information listed by Transfermarkt. It similarly states that Chelsea are expected to move ahead in negotiations for Alajbegovic, while another publication (Kicker) is mentioned as providing supporting context. Across the sources, the core point is that Chelsea are the most likely destination being discussed for Alajbegovic, though the reports do not provide confirmed deal details in the excerpts provided.
