Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing the Boca Juniors prospect Milton Delgado.

The 20-year-old defensive midfielder has attracted the attention of the London club, and a report from Boca Noticias claims that the player has a €17.2 million release clause in his contract.

Chelsea certainly have the financial muscle to pay up, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for the Argentine youth International. The midfielder has impressed in the Under-20 World Cup, and he has the potential to develop into a quality player for Chelsea with the right guidance.

They could certainly use more quality and depth in the squad, and the 20-year-old would be a long-term investment. The €17.2 million investment could look like a bargain in future.

Chelsea have done well to groom young players over the years, and they could help Delgado fulfil his potential as well. The opportunity to move to England will be quite exciting for the young midfielder. It would be a step up for him, and he would get to test himself at the highest level.

Regular opportunities in the Premier League could accelerate his development. It will be interesting to see if...
