Fabrizio Romano – Chelsea completed deal for first January signing
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea has finalized their agreement to sign Mathis Eboue.
The signing of Chelsea’s son, the son of former Arsenal great Emmanuel Eboue, has been rumored for a few weeks and is now almost finalized. Fabrizio Romano, a transfer analyst, claims that the Blues have now formally signed Mathis Eboue.
The 15-year-old can now be regarded as a Chelsea player, according to Romano, despite making an impression in Watford’s Championship system.
Unlike his father, an Ivory Coast international, Mathis is representing England at the U16 level with distinction, recently scoring the crucial goal against France in the Pinatar Challenge Trophy in Spain.
Eboue has already featured and scored for Watford’s U21s despite his youth and Chelsea moved swiftly to snap up one of English football’s brightest talents.

In Eboue, Chelsea have signed an eminently talented and exciting attacker for the future, continuing their trend of securing some of the world’s biggest prospects.
Since the Todd Boehly takeover in 2022, the Blues have made it their mission to collect wonderkids from all over the world. The likes of Moises Caicedo, Kendry Paez and Estevao Willian are set to star on the world stage for the next 15 years.
However, while Eboue can now be considered a Chelsea player, Romano did not mention whether the Premier League had already begun or even finished its five-step investigation into the deal.
This process generally requires a few weeks, so it could yet take some time before Chelsea can officially announce the signing of Eboue. Earlier this year, Liverpool signed highly rated Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea and the Premier League’s investigation took several months.
Either way, it seems that Chelsea have snapped up another incredibly exciting young player.
