Chelsea look to have completed the signing of Dujuan ‘Whisper’ Richards after hijacking Newcastle's move for the talented Jamaican striker. The Phoenix All Stars Academy in Kingston, Jamaica announced on social media on Saturday evening that the teenage striker had agreed pre-contract terms with the Blues, as per the Evening Standard.
Richards - who scored 31 goals and notched 19 assists last season for his current side - had recently been on trial in Newcastle’s academy and attended their 1-1 Premier League draw at St James’ Park last month. He has now agreed to join Chelsea as Todd Boehly continues to sign young talents that can develop into world-class players.
The Blues have already spent over £600million on new signings since Boehly arrived at Stamford Bridge. football.london understands Christopher Nkunku is expected to complete a move to west London this summer after agreeing a pre-contract with the Blues.
