Chelsea have agreed to sign IFK Gothenburg's talented young winger Edwin Andersson.
The 16-year old, who turns 17 in November, has had a deal provisionally agreed with Chelsea for several months but Gothenburg have confirmed he will move with immediate effect.
Confirming the move, academy manager, Jonas Olsson told Gothenburg's website: 'We of course wish Edwin good luck. We would have liked to have seen him stay with us but that he is being recruited to Chelsea is a good mark on our business.'
Left footed Andersson also had interest from Manchester United where he underwent a trial 18 months ago.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have checked on Lille's 24-year old goalkeeper Mike Maignan as they consider options for the summer.

I know we said we wanted young players but this wasnt what I meant, can we just efficiently go after either of Ziyech or Sancho already. And also get Boga back at the club as a number 10 option....
