Chelsea confirm the signing of 17-year-old Dujuan 'Whisper' Richards, but the unknown Jamaican talent won't move to Stamford Bridge until next year

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of another largely unknown talent for the future after completing a deal for Dujuan 'Whisper' Richards.

The 17-year-old has agreed to join the Premier League side, but won't arrive at Stamford Bridge until 2024 after his 18th birthday.

Richards is a Jamaican international and a star of the island nation's Phoenix All Stars football academy in Kingston.

Mainly deployed as a central striker, Richards has made three senior appearances for the Jamaican national team, losing to Qatar and entertaining a draw with Trinidad and Tobago before suffering defeat in a rematch.
