Frankie Runham has departed Chelsea and joined Ipswich Town permanently.
The attacking midfielder moved to the Suffolk side on loan in early 2026 and has now seen his switch to Portman Road made permanent, bringing to an end his long association with Chelsea.
Runham joined the Blues at the age of eight and progressed through the ranks at Cobham, also earning international honours with England at the Under-15, Under-16 and Under-18 age groups.
He also became the youngest-ever Chelsea UEFA Youth League goalscorer at the age of 15 with a strike against Dinamo Zagreb.
Everybody at Chelsea wishes Frankie the best of luck as he embarks on this new chapter in his career.
