Chelsea and Spurs connected with Israeli

Highly-rated Barcelona winger Gai Assulin has been linked with a move to the Premier League. The 17-year-old does not yet have a professional contract with Barca and has yet to make an appearance for Pep Guardiola's side, but he has become a key player in the club's second team. According to reports in Spain, a number of Premier League sides are tracking his situation and considering a possible move. Speculation suggests that both Chelsea and Tottenham might be in the running for Assulin's signature. Barcelona are believed to be eager to keep Assulin and talks over a deal are expected to take place in early 2009. Assulin made history in March when he became the youngest ever international player for Israel in their friendly against Chile.
