Chelsea are hot on the trail of Belgian goalkeeper Kenny Steppe.

Steppe has emerged as number one for Belgian top-flight side Germinal Beerschot Antwerpen this season.

Steppe was handed the chance to take over from veteran Jan Moons after just five games of the season and he has not looked back, helping GBA to fifth place in the Jupiler League.

Steppe has also been capped by Belgium's Under 21s and is now considered one of the finest young goalkeeping prospects in Europe.

Chelsea are reported to be looking at sealing a deal for the 19-year-old and then allowing him to stay at the Olympisch Stadion for at least two years before then moving to West London.
