Chelsea have completed the signing of Leo Castledine from AFC Wimbledon for an undisclosed fee.
The 14 year old midfielder is one of the hottest young prospects in British football. He is an all-action goal-scoring midfielder who drives well with the ball.
He has been compared to Aston Villa star Jack Grealish and also Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.
He is a current England Under-15 international and became the youngest-ever AFC Wimbledon academy player to feature for our Under-18s, making his debut last summer.
Confirming the transfer to Chelsea, AFC Wimbledon Academy Manager Michael Hamilton said: “Naturally, we are very disappointed to lose Leo, but we wish him every success in the future and will be monitoring his progress.
“Leo’s development is down to not only his hard work and application, but also to all the staff here behind the scenes, so I’d like to acknowledge James, Rob and anyone else who has played a part in this young man’s journey.”
