Chelsea confirms and announces January deal for midfielder is done and dusted!

Landon Emenalo has signed his first professional contract with CHELSEA after celebrating his 17th birthday, the Blues have officially confirmed on their website this week.

The Blues posted on the club website: ‘Emenalo initially joined Chelsea through the Under-8s development centre. Although he spent time with Monaco, the midfielder returned to Cobham during his Under-13s season.

‘During the 2023/24 campaign, Emenalo made his Under-21s debut in a 4-1 victory over Colchester United in the Premier League Cup.

‘This season he has featured regularly for our Under-18s, including starting the FA Youth Cup wins over Leicester City and Merstham, as well as in the Under-17 Premier League Cup.

‘In addition, the midfielder has represented the USA at Under-17s level and also appeared for England Under-17s during the October and November international breaks.

‘Congratulations, Landon!’

It is massive for the lad to agree this deal, he probably deserves his first big contract, but despite how happy he is, he will probably spend the next few seasons out on loan somewhere.

We are delighted that such a talented midfielder will hopefully get the chance to prove himself in that Chelsea shirt in the coming seasons, this is a massive step and one that will give him great confidence.
