According to the Athletic, Chelsea are set to complete the signing of Ishe Samuels-Smith from Everton for a fee close to £4million.

The 17-year-old defender has agreed a three-year deal with Chelsea.

The teenager has been at Everton throughout his young career so far, rising through the ranks to represent the club at Under-18 and Under-21 level.

He has also represented England at Under-15, Under-16, and Under-17 level, and was the only Englishman named in the UEFA team of the tournament at the UEFA under-17 European Championships earlier this summer.
