Chelsea Sign 11 Year Old Michael Gyasi

Chelsea made a suprise signing today by announcing we have signed an 11 year old from Northampton Town a  youth product Michael Gyasi for an undisclosed sum.

Although the exact figure is not known it has been suggested that this deal will be structured around whether the young player develops and makes the first team.

Little is known about the player outside of youth football circles so it may be a few years before we know if this will amount to anything significant as the club sifts hundreds of players through trials and short term contracts if Michael Gyasi is the cream that rises to the top only time will tell.

Signing players so young is a gamble but buying a player so young suggests that someone in the know has seen something they like and who knows with our injury worries Micheal may be required to line up against Aston Villa on Saturday.
