Chelsea are set to rival Manchester United in the race to sign Rennes youngster Eduardo Camavinga, according to the Mirror.

Blues clubdirector Petr Cech used to play for Rennes and still has close friends at the club, so he is hoping to use his influence to lure Camavinga to Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United have been regularly linked with a move for the 18-year-old, who they view as a long-term replacement for Paul Pogba.
