Chelsea are being linked with a move for highly rated PEC Zwolle teenager Jadiel Pereira da Gama, according to data compiled by Transfermarkt.
The Premier League club are listed as potential suitors for the 15-year-old defensive midfielder, who is currently on the books of Eredivisie side PEC Zwolle. The information describes the interest only as a rumour, with the likelihood of any move marked simply as “?”, underlining the speculative nature of the link.
Da Gama has recently progressed from PEC Zwolle’s under-17s into the senior set-up, with his latest recorded move being an internal step up from PEC Zwolle U17 to the first team for the 2025–26 season. No contract start or end dates are provided, and there is no market valuation attached to the player, with his market value listed as “None”. That absence of a stated fee has fuelled talk that clubs such as Chelsea could be monitoring his situation closely, including the possibility that he might become available as a free agent in future, although there is no confirmation of that in the data.
Born in Almere on 15 December 2009, Da Gama is registered as 1.82m tall and operates primarily as a defensive midfielder, playing off his right foot. He is noted as holding dual nationality with the Netherlands and Cape Verde, which could give him flexibility at international level later in his career. His current registration is with PEC Zwolle in the Eredivisie, and there are no previous clubs listed beyond the club’s own youth ranks. The data set does not include any recent match details, such as opponents, scorelines or individual performances.
With the probability of a deal unspecified and no fee indicated, any move to Stamford Bridge remains at a very early, speculative stage, but a switch from PEC Zwolle to Chelsea would represent a major step that could significantly shape Da Gama’s development and profile if it ultimately materialises.
