Chelsea Football Club has bolstered its academy side with the signing of two new players, Riley Ebho and Jashayde Greenwood, to scholarship contracts with the Under‑18 team. The announcement, posted on the club’s website on Monday, confirmed their addition to Hassan Sulaiman’s squad.
Ebho, a 16‑year‑old right‑back, joins Chelsea from West Ham United, where he impressed last season with the Under‑18s despite still being a schoolboy. His transfer underscores the club’s ongoing effort to recruit and develop young talent from diverse backgrounds.
Greenwood, a centre‑forward, arrives from Wolverhampton Wanderers after gaining experience in the Under‑18 Premier League. He has represented England at various youth levels and has already scored once in seven appearances for his new team. His signing demonstrates Chelsea’s commitment to nurturing young players and providing them with opportunities to develop their skills.
The new signings will join a Chelsea Under‑18 squad that has made a strong start to the current Under‑18 Premier League campaign. The team’s performance this season reflects the club’s robust youth development system, which has produced several talented players in recent years. With Ebho and Greenwood added to the roster, the academy side is well‑positioned to continue its growth and success.
Chelsea’s investment in young players is a key element of its long‑term strategy, focusing on developing homegrown talent to compete at the highest level. As the season progresses, fans will be eager to see the impact of the new arrivals on the team’s performance and the potential for future success.
