Chelsea mean business. At this point, Todd Boehly and The Blues have had an eye on multiple players and have been successful in signing most of them, From signing their most expensive defender in Wesley Fofana in the summer of 2022 to signing Enzo Fernandez in the winter of 2023 for a British record fee, Todd Boehly has been a busy man.
Along with those big money signings, Chelsea have quietly gone and completed signings of some of the most promising youngsters in football. Andrey Santos and Cesare Casadei are some of the names that have made the move to Stamford Bridge. Another latest gem to do the same is Dujuan ‘Whisper’ Richards, who has signed a pre-agreement with the Blues and will join in the summer of 2023.

Richards started his career with Jamaican club Phoenix at the age of 12. Since then he has been banging goals left and right for them over the past five years. After putting up strong performances with the Phoenix Academy, he received an invitation to trial with Newcastle United of the English Premier League in February 2023. Richards was cited as saying he was “expecting” to join the Magpies following a good two-week trial.
Although all those rumors were put to bed once Chelsea officially signed a pre-agreement with the player.
