Chelsea have continued their policy of identifying the best South American talent.
They have now agreed a deal to sign 16-year old defender Deinner Ordóñez from Ecuadorian side Independiente del Vall. Ordóñez had caught the eye of several European clubs, including Liverpool, but it is Chelsea who have made their move to secure his services.
However, he is only eligible to complete his move to London in January, 2027, once he turns 18.
Chelsea have forged a strong relationship with Independente, which is where Moises Caicedo behan his career, and completed the signing of Kendry Paez, who was also 16, last year.
He was subsequently loaned out to sister club Strasbourg, who are currently playing in Ligue 1 in France.
Estêvão Willian was announced as a signing from Palmeiras when he was just 17 in 2024, and he has already made an impression since he has been at Stamford Bridge.
