Aston Villa attacking midfielder Omari Kellyman has signed for Chelsea on a £19 million deal, according to Fabrizio Romano on Facebook.
The deal will keep the player at the London club until 2030, and there is also an option to add another season. He will also play with the first team under Enzo Maresca in the coming season.
The young England U-20 talent accumulated significant playing time, featuring in twelve Premier League 2 matches and netting 7 goals. Additionally, he gained valuable experience with Aston Villa's senior squad, making 3 appearances across both Premier League and EFL Cup competitions.
This transfer presents Kellyman with a fantastic opportunity to develop his skills in a fiercely competitive setting, potentially paving the way for him to establish himself as a key player at a top Premier League club.
In a separate transfer deal, Ian Maatsen will be heading to Villa Park after an agreement was reached between Chelsea and Aston Villa concerning the move.
