Chelsea have completed the signing of Teddy Sharman-Lowe.
Despite several additions to the first-team squad this summer, with the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, and Hakim Ziyech all arriving, the Blues have not ignored their academy.
And they are planning for the future with a deal for goalkeeper Sharman-Lowe.
The 17-year-old had been on the books at Burton Albion and has taken to social media to confirm his move to Stamford Bridge.
"Absolutely speechless! A very surreal experience signing for one of the biggest clubs in the world," he wrote on Twitter. "Burton took me in and have developed me so well and a massive thank you to everyone at the club
"New beginnings at Chelsea.
"Ready to work!"
It's a case of one youngster in and another out at Chelsea this week as Samuel Iling-Junior confirmed his exit with an emotional Instagram post.
"Full of vast emotions, being at Chelsea from such a young age has truly built me, not only as a the player I am today but also as a person," he posted on Instagram. "It’s been a blessed journey and I’m deeply thankful for all those in the Academy.
"From the groundsmen, kitchen staff, players, coaches, the list goes on.
"I’m filled with gratitude at the time and effort put into my development, leading me to where I am today.
"I would also like to give thanks to the people around me, my family and friends who have consistently supported me.
"Finally, I’d like to thank God for blessing me with this opportunity and protecting me throughout.
"This is just the start.
"I wish Chelsea all the best for the seasons ahead."
