Juventus and Chelsea are reportedly keen on Hungarian teenager Bendegúz Kovács, but his current club, AZ Alkmaar, is moving swiftly to secure him with a new contract.

According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the young forward has caught the eye of both the Bianconeri and the London club this summer.

The central striker only turned 19 in March but is already making a significant impact after progressing through Ajax's renowned youth academy. He joined AZ Alkmaar's U21 squad in January and has since netted 8 goals in 14 appearances.

Kovács' current deal runs until June 2028, prompting the club to work diligently on securing his services with a longer-term agreement.

Meanwhile, the towering forward has also attracted the attention of the Hungarian senior national team, who are set to call him up for friendly matches against Finland and Kazakhstan next month.

Should Chelsea make a move for him, it would likely be part of their transfer collaboration with Strasbourg.
