Chelsea close to signing Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa
Chelsea are closing in on signing attacking midfielder Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa for a reported £19m.
The deal is in the process of being done, with personal terms and a medical needing to be sorted.
Discussions are under way for a five or six-year contract, with the 18-year-old expected to be part of Enzo Maresca’s first team squad.
The highly-rated youngster has made six first-team appearances at Villa Park and is an England Under-19 international.
Villa have also agreed to buy defender Ian Maatsen from Chelsea for £37.5m this week – as both clubs remain conscious of the Premier League profit and sustainability regulations before and after the 30 June accounting deadline.
That deal is separate to the one that will see Maatsen move to the West Midlands
Kellyman joined Villa from Derby County for a reported £600,000 fee in July 2022 and signed his first professional contract, external with them in September 2022.
