Chelsea have announced the signing of teenage left back Yisa Alao on a two-and-a-half year deal after winning the race for his coveted signature.
The Blues were reportedly vying with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United for the highly rated 17-year-old. In fact, the two northern Premier League powerhouses were thought to be leading the charge for Alao until Chelsea elbowed their way into the negotiating table with an offer Sheffield Wednesday simply couldn’t refuse.
