Chelsea announced the signing of 18 year-old, Dujuan Richards.
Richards moved to the blues in the summer and recently finalized his transfer to Stamford Bridge from the Phoenix Academy.
Richards expressed his joy on the club website, “I’m thrilled to be here. It was always my dream to sign a professional contract and to have the opportunity to do that here at Chelsea, it’s hard to describe the feelings. I’m eager to get going.”
Meanwhile, David Datro Fofana has joined Burnley on loan from Chelsea for the rest of the season.
Fofana praised Vincent Kompany, the Burnley manager, on the club website,
“Working with Vincent Kompany will be great. I have watched a few games already and I feel this is the right place for me to progress.
I have been aware of Burnley for a long time, they have been in the Premier League before this season and the champions last year and I’m excited to be part of this team now.”
Chelsea have no international loan slots left so the loan activity could be limited.
