Chelsea have beaten off competition from Arsenal and Manchester City to sign Southampton striker Jimmy-Jay Morgan.
Morgan is one of the Saints’ brightest talents, but despite the club’s best efforts, he has now left to join Chelsea. The 17-year-old striker has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with the Blues after the club agreed to pay an initial fee of £3million, according to The Athletic.
Southampton were desperate to keep hold of the youngster, but he has now returned to the club where he began his career. The details of the deal were worked out on January transfer deadline day and have now been smoothed out.
