Chelsea look to have completed another pre-contract summer transfer with Dujuan 'Whisper' Richards set to join the club at the start of the 2023/23 season. The move is yet to be officially confirmed by the Blues, but Craig Butler, who runs the Phoenix FC football academy, has revealed Richards has signed a pre-contract agreement with the club.
The 17-year-old has spent the last five years with Phoenix before getting a call up to the Jamaica senior team for a game against Trinidad and Tobago this month. The player had a two-week trial at Newcastle United in February and had also been linked with a move to Aston Villa.
Richards joining the club continues the Todd Boehly trend of bringing wonderkids to west London. Previously unknown stars such as Gabriel Slonina, Andrey Santos and Cesare Casadei have already signed for the Blues in recent windows with Ecuadorian gem Kendry Paez also expected to join the Blues soon.
