Chelsea sign up top youngster to long contract

Youngster Frankie Runham has finally committed to Chelsea, signing a long term deal in the face of interest from several other Premier League clubs.

His future had looked away from Stamford Bridge in recent times, but he’s been persuaded to stay and put pen to paper, joining the revolution underway in West London.

The 16 year old attacking midfielder has England appearances and became the club’s youngest ever goalscorer in the UEFA Youth league last season.

Brighton and Newcastle were among the sides being reported to have an interest in the playmaker, but Chelsea’s academy vision has clearly been successfully sold to him.
