Chelsea have reportedly just completed a deal to sign one of the most promising young players in the United Kingdom.
It has been the mantra of Todd Boehly and co ever since they took over as owners of the club to invest heavily in their future.
The highlight addition up to now has been Kendry Paez, who will join up with the first team at the end of next season.
The now 17-year-old hasestablished himself as a regular for the senior Ecuador side, playing alongside Moises Caicedo on a regular basis.
Chelsea have signed Christopher Atherton
Now, according to Academy Scoop, the Blues have just secured another top prospect for the future.
They claimed on Twitter that they have secured a deal for 15-year-old Christopher Atherton.
They went on to say that the youngster opted to join the Blues instead of Manchester United, and also trialled with a number of Premier League sides.
He has also made a bit of history in his extraordinarily short career, becoming the youngest player to make a first-team debut at professional level in the UK.
If other reports are to be believed, the Blues may well not be done yet with deals to bring in young players, and could still make their biggest one yet this summer.
Chelsea agree terms with Estevao Willian
It has been claimed that they have agreed personal terms with Estevao Willian over a potential move, with the two clubs yet to come to an agreement on a fee just yet.
The right-winger has been seen as one of the most promising prospects the game has ever seen, and a number of top sides are keen to bring him in for years to come.
The Blues are clearly investing in their future, and the fact they are still beating rival sides to these kind of deals is a statement that they are still a force at the top of the game.
