Chelsea is excited to announce the signing of Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa.
The 18-year-old has agreed to a six-year contract, with an option for an additional year. He will join his new teammates for pre-season training next month.
Kellyman expressed his excitement, saying, “It is a dream come true for sure. I’m buzzing to have put on the shirt and can’t wait to get started.”
Kellyman, an attacking midfielder, began his career at Derby County and spent ten years there before joining Aston Villa in 2022.
He played for Villa’s Under-18 and Under-21 teams and was nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month.
Last summer, he joined Villa’s pre-season tour in the United States and made his first-team debut in August 2023 during a Europa Conference League win against Hibernian.
He also made five more appearances, including matches against Manchester City and Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
