Dujuan 'Whisper' Richards has signed a pre-contract deal with Chelsea, according to the founder of Phoenix Football Academy in Jamaica. The exciting striker had undergone a two-week trial with Newcastle United last month, but looks to have agreed a switch to the Blues.
The 17-year-old spent a fortnight in the North East, and was pictured in attendance at St James' Park as Eddie Howe's side drew with West Ham. Richards was also in the stands at Whitley Park for Newcastle under-21s draw with their Leeds United counterparts on February 13.
The striker later outlined his confidence that an offer from the Magpies would be forthcoming in an exclusive interview with ChronicleLive.
