The transfer window is buzzing with exciting news as Chelsea is reportedly in the final stages of signing talented young forward Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa. The deal is said to be worth a whopping £19million, a testament to the confidence that the club has in this rising star.
Despite facing some challenges with Profit and Sustainability Rules, Chelsea is still committed to investing in promising young players. In fact, they have already made some impressive signings such as Deivid Washington, Angelo, Diego Moreira, and Cesare Casadei. And there are more to come, with names like Kendry Paez and Estevao Willian on their radar for future signings.
Interestingly, this is not the first time that Chelsea has poached a talented player from Aston Villa. In 2022, they acquired Carney Chukwuemeka for a cool £20million, and now they have set their sights on Kellyman. According to reliable sources, Chelsea's manager Enzo Maresca is just finalizing the details with Villa and the player before the official announcement.
At just 18 years old, Kellyman has already shown immense potential and versatility on the field. Although he is primarily a centre-forward, he can also play in other attacking positions. However, his playing time at Villa has been limited, with only six senior appearances and one start last season. But he did make an impact in the second leg of their Conference League qualifier against Hibernian, assisting in a 3-0 victory.
Despite his lack of playing time, Kellyman has been a standout performer for Villa's U21 team, scoring eight goals in 14 appearances. In fact, his impressive performance caught the eye of Chelsea, who signed him to a long-term contract last October. And now, he is on the verge of joining their ranks as the latest promising talent to don the iconic blue jersey.
This news also comes on the heels of Villa's recent signing of Ian Maatsen from Chelsea for a reported fee of over £35million. It's a win-win situation for both clubs as they continue to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season. And while Villa may have missed out on their top target, Michael Olise, who is set to move to Bayern Munich, they can take solace in the fact that they still have an exciting young player in Kellyman.
So, as the transfer window heats up, Chelsea fans can look forward to seeing the talented Kellyman in action alongside their other impressive signings. And with more exciting news and updates on the horizon, it's an exciting time to be a Chelsea supporter.
