Wonderkid warned off Stamford Bridge move
Prominent Belgian scout Urbain Haesaert has advised Charles De Ketelaere against a move to Chelsea.
Clubs across Europe are reported to be interested in De Ketelaere, who is seen as the future of Belgian football.
But according to Haesaert, the young star would 'not develop' if he moved to Chelsea.
The 80-year-old scout told Het Laatste Nieuws [via Sport Witness]: "His agent wants to take him to AC Milan, Real Madrid or Chelsea, but from the bench, you can’t possibly develop. And that would be very unhealthy for his career.
"If I were Charles, I would tell my agent: ‘Give me the PSG eleven on paper, you know them. And tell me who I am going to play out of the team.’
"That also applies to Ajax, which would be a very good club for Charles, given the philosophy and style of play.
"That’s why I advise Charles to stay at Club Brugge for another season. It’s a very good club, which is performing fantastically. You know you’re getting better, and you’re playing. The accommodation is great, and there’s a good crowd."
