Chelsea are set to sigh Ishe Samuels-Smith from Everton
Chelsea’s policy of signing the best young players in Europe to develop for the future has continued.
According to The Athletic, Ishe Samuels-Smith is set to join Chelsea from Everton for a fee in the region of £4million.
The 17-year-old defender has agreed a three-year deal at Stamford Bridge.
He is coming off the back of a strong season for Everton’s youth sides and was on the bench for the first team in both the Carabao Cup and Premier League.
Born in Manchester, Samuels-Smith joined Everton aged nine and has also played for England at youth level.
He was included in the team of the tournament at the Under-17 European Championships earlier this month.
The signing of Samuels-Smith comes after Chelsea completed a double swoop on Saturday.
