Arsenal and Chelsea boost in transfer fight for PSG’s teen star Kays Ruiz-Atil, 17, dubbed the ‘new Messi’ – The Sun

ARSENAL and Chelsea received a boost in the transfer race for Paris Saint-Germain's prodigy Kays Ruiz-Atil after the teenager reportedly rejected a new contract.

The young star, just 17 and already dubbed the 'new Messi', is being tipped for big things after becoming the youngest outfield player to sign a pro contract at the French giants.

But his current deal expires in a year and according to Le Parisien, he has turned down a new offer.

PSG were willing to tie him down until 2024 with the fresh terms on the table.

But the youngster is not willing to commit his long-term future to the Ligue 1 champions.

On top of that, he has joined up with agent Alain Migliaccio, who also represents Zinedine Zidane.

And that will give the likes of Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and Chelsea's Frank Lampard confidence they can strike a deal to land him when the transfer market reopens.

Reports have linked both clubs – as well as Borussia Dortmund and Marseille – with the French prodigy, who has already secured a sponsorship deal with Adidas.
