According to All Nigeria Soccer (h/t Football.london), Nigerian youngster Prince Adegoke has penned a new deal with Chelsea.
This comes only a few months after the 17-year-old signed a scholarship with the English giants. Having turned 17 on Tuesday, Adegoke has now seen a clause in his contract activated.
The official announcement was expected to take place today on Tuesday. However, owing to our European commitments, it has now been pushed to Thursday.
Adegoke will now put pen to paper on a deal that lasts for two years and eight months. There is also an option to increase the contract in July 2021, based on his performances for the club.
Born in England, Adegoke originally signed for the club as a 13-year-old. A goalkeeper, he has been a part of the full-time school program at the academy.
A tall player, the 17-year-old has a big presence on the pitch. He featured on the bench in the FA Youth Cup last season and has been involved with the Under-18s occasionally.
A talented keeper, he joins the ranks of the talented youth coming through the ranks at Chelsea.
While he is some way away from making it to the first-team, he is on the right track in terms of growth.
Chelsea signed promising goalkeeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe from Burton Albion earlier in the summer. He joined Dutchman Xavier Mbuyamba at the club.
