According to reports from ESPN, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City are monitoring Montreal Impact prodigy Ballou Jean-Yves Tabla ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 17-year-old winger is yet to make an appearance for the MLS outfit at senior level, instead representing their second string Montreal FC, but starred in the Canadian U20 side that beat England 2-1 last month.

That performance appears to have drawn interest from Premier League clubs, although ESPN suggest Tabla has been well-known as one of the most exciting young talents outside of European football for some time.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City are all monitoring the Ivory Coast-born starlet, who coincidentally enough often lines up alongside Ivory Coast and Chelsea legend Didier Drogba in training.
The Premier League trio are expected to continue monitoring the teenager’s progress and according to ESPN, several English clubs have already enquired into taking Tabla on trial to further assess his potential.
