Nottingham Forest interested in signing Chelsea starlet - report

Nottingham Forest have been linked with a move for Chelsea defender Marc Guehi.

are among a number of clubs keen on signing the England Under-21 international in the January transfer window, according to The Sun.

Norwich City, Southampton, Swansea and Bristol City are also said to be interested in landing the highly-rated 19-year-old.

Guehi signed a new long-term contract with Chelsea in September but could be sent out on loan next month as part of the next step in his development.

The youngster, who can played at right-back or in central defence, was part of England's Under-17 World Cup-winning squad.

He was handed his senior Chelsea debut by Frank Lampard in the EFL Cup earlier this season - a 7-1 victory over Grimsby Town.

He also featured in the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in the same competition.

The Sun reports: "The decision for Chelsea and Guehi to make is whether the right move for him will be to join a Premier League side battling for survival or drop down to a good Championship club.

"Swansea, Bristol City and are all hoping to seal promotion this season, and are offering regular football to the teenager who has been at Chelsea since he was spotted playing in South-East London at the age of nine."
