Chelsea Have ‘Deal in Place’ With Aston Villa for Kellyman

Chelsea’s transfer window continues to rage on with yet another signing set to come through the door – with Fabrizio Romano stating that Aston Villa youngster Omari Kellyman is set to walk through the Stamford Bridge doors in a £19million move.

Having already confirmed the signing of Palmeiras youngster Willian Estevao on Saturday, the Blues are looking towards the future by signing the young Brazilian; but their capture of young stars will not stop there, with Kellyman said to be on route to the London giants in the next week.

Omari Kellyman ‘Set’ for Chelsea Move

The striker will join the Blues imminently

Romano tweeted his ‘Here we go!’ catchphrase on Sunday afternoon, with the update that a move for Kellyman to Stamford Bridge was in place, as terms had been agreed by both clubs and Kellyman himself ahead of a move to west London.

There is a verbal agreement on a £19million fee for the youngster, despite his lack of first-team minutes at Villa Park – though he will sign a six-year contract to run through to 2030, with the Blues having a further year’s option by the time his contract comes to an end at the turn of the decade.

With Ian Maatsen headed the other way in a £37.5million deal that will see the Dutchman move to the Champions League outfit, Romano states that the two deals are separate despite being dealt between both clubs in the same week – and Kellyman will undergo his medical on Monday before confirming his place in a Chelsea side that is evidently focusing on nurturing young talent for the years to come.
