Chelsea starlet Ashley Akpan will undergo a trial with Leeds United next week.
That’s according to Football Insider, who claim that the 15-year-old will head to Thorp Arch next week ahead of a possible move to the Whites after Chelsea told the teenager he can find a new club.
The report also adds that Akpan is a target for multiple clubs, with Leeds looking to steal a march on several sides in the race for his services.

Football Insider claim that Akpan is predominantly a defender but can also play in midfield, so his versatility could be of interest to the Whites when they reportedly see him close up next week.
The Daily Express have recently stated that Akpan was well-placed to progress to greater levels with the Blues, however, despite Frank Lampard’s recent willingness to give the youth a chance at Stamford Bridge, Akpan looks likely to leave.
If Leeds like what they see over the coming days, they could decide to offer him either scholarship or professional terms.
The Whites are known for developing academy products into first-team stars, with the likes of James Milner, Danny Rose and Fabian Delph three of the best youngsters to come through at Elland Road, as per a report from 90min.
So we feel that Yorkshire could be an ideal destination for the versatile youngster, should the Blues confirm his departure.
