Having made his A-League Men debut at just 15, Yull has two senior appearances to his credit but was unable to build on that last season with senior minutes impossible to come by.
Regardless, he has caught that eye of the Blues Academy with Reds chiefs granting a 14-day trek the UK which could potentially fast-track the 17-year-old’s future.
A budding number ten, British-born Yull was a star of Adelaide’s NPL side last season and will have no work permit issues if he’s offered an opportunity at Stamford Bridge.
Should he be signed up he’d be eligible for both Chelsea’s U-18s or U-23s.
