Chelsea has announced the signing of Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa in a deal that could reach £19m. The 18-year-old midfielder, who has limited first-team experience with Villa, has penned a six-year contract with the Blues, which includes an option for an additional year.
Kellyman, who has represented England at the Under-20 level, initially joined Aston Villa in 2022 following a decade at Derby County. Expressing his excitement about the move, Kellyman stated that it is a dream come true to be a part of such a prestigious club like Chelsea. He is looking forward to starting his journey with the team and is honored to have the opportunity to wear the Chelsea shirt.
This signing comes on the heels of Ian Maatsen’s transfer from Chelsea to Aston Villa the day before. The deal with Villa is the latest in Chelsea’s series of transfer activities, following Hakim Ziyech’s permanent move to Galatasaray this week. The Moroccan winger completed a successful loan spell at the Turkish club last season before making his move permanent. As Chelsea continues to shape their squad for the upcoming season, the addition of Kellyman adds young talent and potential to their midfield.
