Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

Chelsea are on the brink of confirming that Faustino Anjorin has committed his future to the club by putting pen to paper on a fresh multi-year deal.<\/p>\n

Chelsea youth team guru Chelsea Youth has tweeted that the official confirmation of Tino Anjorin’s new contract is a formality and it could be announced this week, and added that the deal is done and dusted.<\/p>\n

The teenager’s new contract will put an end to speculation surrounding his future, with the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Norwich City, Liverpool and Arsenal monitoring his situation.<\/p>\n

A powerful box-to-box midfielder, Anjorin is also comfortable being deployed as a winger and played in that position when he made his Premier League debut off the bench against Everton in March 2020.<\/p>\n

His other appearance for Chelsea’s first team this season came against Grimsby Town when he made his professional debut, and he frequently trains with the first team stars.<\/p>\n

A key player for England U19s, Anjorin is being monitored by the Nigeria Football Federation with a view to a call-up to the Super Eagles in future if he switches his international allegiance from England to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The Poole-born starlet officially joined Chelsea as an U9 and signed his first professional contract in November 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
