Chelsea to welcome new signing, deal already agreed

Mauricio Pochettino's tutored side, Chelsea look set to finalise a transfer they had all but agreed early in 2023.

The Stamford Bridge club had agreed a deal for Dujuan Richards many months ago.

With the likes of Newcastle and Aston Villa interested, Chelsea moved quickly to secure the young Jamaican.

However, he had not yet turned 18, which meant the club had to wait to bring him in to England.

He is signing from the Phoenix Allstar academy and may play in his country's CONCACAF Nations League matches.

Craig Butler, founder of Phoenix All-stars, previously stated to Scouted: "I remember this local fisherman kept pleading with me to take this young kid into my academy. He kept pleading and pleading, telling me he was special, so I agreed that if he was still there when I came back from the party, I would take him to the academy.

"When I returned, I saw this skinny, tall, gangly boy with his backpack waiting by my car, ready to go. We took him to the player housing, and he stayed with the academy ever since.

Butler added: "We've created football's Usain Bolt."
