Chelsea weigh up move for Partizan Belgrade teenager Stefan Savic in bid to bolster defence

Impressed: Partizan's Stefan Savic has established himself as an international defender for MontenegroChelsea are tracking Partizan Belgrade teenager Stefan Savic as a candidate to bolster their threadbare defence.The 19-year-old centre half has established himself as a regular for Montenegro this year since making his debut against Northern Ireland in August and has impressed for Partizan in the Champions League.Savic claimed in February that he had signed a preliminary agreement with Arsenal after also receiving offers from Tottenham and Birmingham, following a trial with the Gunners.However, in August he left Borca for fellow Belgrade side Partizan. who are top of the Serb league.Chelsea have watched the 6ft 1in defender, but face competition from Shakhtar Donetsk, Roma and CSKA Moscow.Shakhtar, who put three past a Partizan defence shorn of Savic on Tuesday night, are willing to pay £6.75million - vastly better than the £4m Roma are willing to pay.The non-appearance in Donetsk was of little use to CSKA scouts, who sent a delegation to watch Savic and his 21-year-old midfield team-mate Radosav Petrovic, who played just 64 minutes.Savic impressed at Wembley last month as part of the Montenegro defence which frustrated England in a goalless draw. Josh is getting his teenage kicks!
