According to recent reports, it seems that young talent Zain Silcott-Duberry is on his way to AFC Bournemouth. The club has allegedly reached an agreement with Chelsea for a potential January transfer. Fabrizio Romano, a well-known expert in football transfers, revealed that the deal includes a sell-on clause and additional incentives for first-team appearances.
The 19-year-old winger is expected to sign a three-and-a-half-year contract with the Cherries, securing his position with the club until June 2028. Silcott-Duberry has been praised for his impressive skills on the field, including his dribbling, creativity, speed, work ethic, versatility, and ball control. It's no wonder he's been compared to the likes of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Raheem Sterling.
Born in Hackney, Silcott-Duberry began his career with Norwich City before joining Chelsea's academy in 2017. He has also represented England at the under-16 and under-17 levels, showcasing his promising potential. However, it seems that he will be leaving Stamford Bridge without ever making an appearance for the first team. He did, however, play for Chelsea's U21s in last season's EFL Trophy, facing off against Northampton and Oxford United.
Now, it seems that Silcott-Duberry is on his way to the Vitality Stadium, where Bournemouth has been thriving this season under the leadership of Spanish manager Andoni Iraola. In their last Premier League match, the Cherries secured a point against Chelsea in an exciting 2-2 draw. This puts them in a strong position to potentially qualify for Europe for the first time in their 126-year history.
But Bournemouth has not been resting on their laurels, as they have been actively pursuing new talent in the January transfer market. Silcott-Duberry will be their third signing, joining left-back Julio Soler and centre-back Matai Akinmboni from Argentine club Lanus and American side DC United, respectively. However, in exchange, the club has seen the departure of Philip Billing and Max Aarons, who have both been loaned out to Napoli and Valencia.
Currently, Bournemouth sits at eighth place in the Premier League table after 21 games, but with their recent success and new additions, they have their sights set higher than ever before. They will return to action against Newcastle United on Saturday at St James' Park, and fans are eagerly awaiting the debut of their new wonderkid, Zain Silcott-Duberry.
