Chelsea have confirmed the expected arrival of 18-year-old Aston Villa attacker Omari Kellyman on a six-year deal, with an option for a seventh.

Last week, football.london revealed that talks had begun with the Villans over a potential £20m switchm and now the Blues have confirmed his transfer. Kellyman played six senior Villa games last season, two of which came in the Premier League, albeit none were starts.

Kellyman said: ‘It is fantastic to be standing here as a Chelsea player. It’s a massive club with an amazing history, so it is great to join. It is a dream come true for sure. I’m buzzing to have put on the shirt and can’t wait to get started."

Kellyman's signing follows the arrival of Tosin Adarabioyo who joins as a free agent from Fulham, while a deal with Estevao Willian has also been completed with his arrival scheduled for next summer Palmeiras once he turns 18.
