Earlier, we reported that Chelsea was actively working on signing Aston Villa's young talent, Omari Kellyman. Today, it has been confirmed that the London club has reached all agreements with the Lions and the player himself, officially announcing the transfer of the 18-year-old.
According to Fabrizio Romano, this transfer cost Chelsea £19 million, and his contract with the club is for six years with an option to extend for another year.
Kellyman expressed his happiness about joining Chelsea:
