Chelsea have beaten Manchester United to the signing of Swedish prodigy Edwin Andersson, according to the Independent.
The Blues agreed to a deal before the January transfer window closed. The player will, however, join up with the North London side in the summer. Andersson has been compared to Callum Hudson-Odoi and Cristiano Ronaldo by his father.
The youngster was on a trial with Manchester United 18 months ago. Thankfully for the Blues, no deal materialized, allowing them to swoop in for the player. (h/t Football.London)
Andersson has been a prolific scorer for the Swedish youth teams since making his debut for the Under-16 side as a 14-year-old.
He scored seven times at the level before moving up to the Under-17 level. He scored three times in the qualification stages of the UEFA European Under-17 Championship.
Chelsea are in need of a revamp with a number of players past their prime. The likes of Willian and Pedro are ageing.
By choosing to secure the signing of some of the promising youth players, Chelsea have a good chance of unearthing the next best talent in European football.
This is Chelsea’s second signing following the overturn of their transfer ban. The Blues have already signed Bryan Fiabema from Tromso.
