The player has chosen Chelsea over Manchester United.
Details: According to insider Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign 17-year-old defender Yisa Alao from Sheffield Wednesday. The London club will pay a fixed fee of over £500,000, with the contract also including significant add-ons.
The gifted fullback was also a target for three other Premier League clubs, and according to The Athletic, one of them was Manchester United. However, it was Chelsea who successfully outmaneuvered their rivals and pushed the negotiations over the finish line.
It is worth noting that this season he has made just five appearances for his club across all competitions, without registering a goal or an assist yet.
Reminder: Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer could continue his career at Manchester United.
