According to weaintgotnohistory, Chelsea have “completed” a deal to sign 17-year-old Pape Daouda Diong from a football academy in Senegal. The lanky midfielder was spotted in the owner’s box at Stamford Bridge a couple weeks ago (alongside fellow future signing Kendry Páez and co-owner Behdad Eghbali), so this development is hardly a surprise. You’re welcome, Strasbourg.InformationGuideNigeria
Romano’s brief report makes no mention of a transfer fee, but previous rumors put it at around €20m, which is not nothing, but would be if Diong does live up to his supposed potential. But that’s a fair bit down the line from now, especially as he won’t even be joining until he turns 18 in the summer.JAMB Result

There’s no official Chelsea confirmation of this deal yet, but it does fit our current m.o., and it’s also in line with how other moneyed clubs are snapping up youngsters well before their 18th birthdays. So we better get in on this action before FIFA adjust their Article 19 rules (which they surely must since these signings go entirely against the spirit of that rule, no?).NYSC Portal
