Chelsea sign Northampton Town youngster Michael Gyasi
Chelsea have signed 11-year-old Northampton Town striker Michael Gyasi for an undisclosed fee.
The switch includes a variety of add-ons, which are subject to particular targets being met.
Cobblers centre of excellence boss Trevor Gould said: "Michael has progressed well and has improved with our coaching.
"Financially the deal is good for us, and the money we will receive will aid our youth development."
Gyasi had been part of the Northampton centre of excellence for the last three years.
"While we obviously want to produce and keep our best players, when a Premier League club like Chelsea come knocking, as long as the deal is right for the club, we will never stand in a boy's way," added Gould.
"Not only is this is a superb opportunity for Michael but it reinforces the quality of player we are bringing both into the club and through our centre of excellence."
