Chelsea beat Manchester United to signing of Daishawn Redan as 16-year-old Ajax striker opts to join Blues

Chelsea have beaten Manchester United and Red Bull Leipzig to the signing of Ajax's 16-year-old Daishawn Redan.

The teenage striker, who will join Chelsea's academy at Cobham Training Centre on July 1, has been one of the most prolific in Ajax's youth set up since he joined as an eight-year-old.

Ajax announced back in March that Redan would leave the club at the end of the season.
