Chelsea, Aston Villa and Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing 18-year-old striker Stefanos Tzimas, who has impressed on loan at FC Nürnberg this season.

Nürnberg are expected to activate his €18 million release clause from PAOK Saloniki but could sell him immediately for a profit.

Sky Germany’s Patrick Berger reports that Premier League sides Chelsea, Aston Villa and Newcastle United, alongside Stuttgart, are all vying for his signature.

The young talent’s growing reputation as a clinical striker makes him a hot property in the transfer market. Competition among clubs is heating up as Tzimas’ future remains uncertain.
