Chelsea to launch bid for Jubilo Iwata starlet Keisuke Goto

Japanese prospect Keisuke Goto is being linked with a host of top European clubs.

The 18-year-old forward is seen as the best young talent in Japan at present.

Goto plays for Jubilo Iwata and has been tracked by Chelsea, West Ham United, Ajax, Feyenoord, and Sevilla.

Per The Mail, Chelsea are very serious about adding him to their squad, given their recent recruitment of young players.

The Blues want to build a squad for the long-term, which will ensure they do not have to splash big money on superstars in the future.

The teenager Goto was close to playing for Japan at the World U20 Championships, but suffered an injury pre-tournament.
