It seemed only a matter of time before teenager Chris Atherton would sign for a major club and the 16-year-old's dream has come true as Irish Premiership club Glenavon confirmed on Thursday that the forward has signed for Chelsea.
Atherton made headlines in September 2022 when he became the youngest senior footballer in the United Kingdom at 13 years and 329 years old.
Indeed, he missed out on becoming the youngest senior player in the world by just 10 days, that record being held by Souleymane Mamam, who played for Togo in a World Cup qualifier against Zambia in May 2001 at 13 years and 319 days.
