German youngster to replace Carvalho at Chelsea?
Chelsea Football Club are said to be interested in Jerome Boateng.
It is being reported that the Blues sporting director Frank Arnesen has been hugely impressed by the young German during the Under-21 European Championships.
Boateng, 20, is under contract at Hamburg until the summer of 2012, but the Stamford Bridge club are supposedly looking at him as a possible replacement for Ricardo Carvalho.
The Portuguese international endured an injury-plagued 2008/09 campaign, and he is being heavily linked with a move to Jose Mourinho’s Inter Milan.
