Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that German Bundesliga club Hoffenheim are preparing to make an offer for Chelsea wonderkid Adrian Akande.

The Nigerian winger was at Hoffenheim earlier this month to be shown around the club's facilities as well as train with the club and impressed the youth team coaching staff at the end of his audition.

Akande becomes eligible to sign scholarship forms with Chelsea in July 2020 but has opted to join another club where there's a pathway to the first team.

The 16-year-old has also been linked with possible moves to Glasgow Rangers, Celtic and West Ham and has trained with the Light Blues and Hammers this season.

Spoilt for choice, a definite decision on the player's future will be be made within the next three months.

Akande, who played for Crystal Palace youth team before joining Chelsea at the age of 12, was a member of the Golden Eaglets squad to the 2019 U17 Africa Cup of Nations.
