According to Caught Offside sources, Chelsea and Arsenal are monitoring the development of 21-year-old River Plate talent Ian Subiabre.

The interest from Chelsea is not a huge surprise considering how often they have targeted talented youngsters from the South American region. They have previously signed the likes of Estevao Willian, Andrey Santos, Kendry Páez, and Deivid Washington.

Arsenal are also interested in the winger in order to add depth to their wide attacking options in the squad.

The player could be put on the spot soon with so many clubs interested in his signature.

Although Subiabre has mainly played as a right-winger, he has the quality to play on the left-side as well as a centre forward.

Sources close to the player have stated that the youngster has great potential and deserves the attention of the biggest clubs in Europe.
