Chelsea academy product joins Italian side

Chelsea will hope to build on their midweek win over Servette when they face Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday. 

The Blues were beaten 2-0 by champions Manchester City last weekend, but goals from Christopher Nkunku and Noni Madueke earned Enzo Maresca his first victory as head coach, against Servette in the UEFA Conference League play-off stage.

The Italian will want to see his side build on that result when they travel to Molineux, but Wolves will undoubtedly provide a stern test for the London side.

Chelsea have once again been very busy in the transfer window so far this summer, with ten players having already arrived at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have also allowed first team players, including Conor Gallagher, to depart the club.

Now, it appears that another of Chelsea’s academy graduates is leaving the club.

As per Fabrizio Romano, Tino Anjorin has agreed a deal to join Italian club Empoli on a permanent deal.

Anjorin has spent time on loan at several clubs including Huddersfield Town

Anjorin, 22, is one of a number of players to have progressed from Chelsea’s youth academy in recent seasons, but he has never established himself in the first team squad at Stamford Bridge.

In total he has played just five times for Chelsea at senior level, but he has spent time on loan at several clubs including Lokomotiv Moscow and Portsmouth.

The versatile midfielder can play in a number of roles including on either flank and as an attacking midfielder.

Romano claims that the former England under-2o international has finalised his move to the Serie A side, with Chelsea including a 50% sell-on clause in the deal.
