Chelsea have signed Finnish starlet Jimi Tauriainen on a three-year contract after the 16-year-old resisted a move to Serie A.
The winger will join the Blues from HJK Helsinki in the summer despite having trials at Juventus and Inter Milan.
Tauriainen, whose father Pasi was a Finland international, has been watched closely by top European sides this year.
He trialled with the two Italian giants and was asked to train with clubs in Germany and the UK before settling on Chelsea.
The youngster, whose brother Julius, 18, plays for Bundesliga outfit Freiburg, made a name for himself when he was player of the tournament at the Gallini World Cup in Budapest last year.
