Mexican football club Pachuca is claiming that Chelsea are interested in 21-year-old winger Jurgen Damm who would have no problem playing in Europe due to his dual Mexican/German nationality.
Previously Damm had been linked to Manchester United having undergone a two-week trial back in 2013 while playing for Estudiantes Tecos.
Andres Fassi, the club’s vice-president, has revealed the Premier League club have been tracking the progress of the Mexico-born right winger but revealed talks are yet to start.
Damm was previously linked with Manchester United, where he underwent a two-week trial in early 2013 when he was plying his trade with Estudiantes Tecos.
“Yes, there is interest but we have to see how much they are interested,” club vice president Andres Fassi told Medio Tiempo.
“In principle we have a sporting plan for Jurgen and we hope he stays, but if something comes up from abroad, we have to take it into account and if it’s serious, we have to respond, we will have news in the next 48 hours.”
Fassi confirmed that it was Chelsea who are interested and that representatives from the club will arrive in Mexico this week.
“Chelsea are the club interested, but we have to see how much they are interested, we can’t go ahead of ourselves, we have to wait and see,” he added.
“When it comes to us, it’s a matter of sporting project. We want him to stay and we will see how much Chelsea are interested.
“There is a belief they arrive in Mexico on Thursday to talk with us.”
