Chelsea Football Club is pleased to confirm that Academy midfielder Jayden Malundama has signed his first professional contract with the Blues.

Malundama joined Chelsea as an Under-8 and has progressed through the youth ranks at Cobham. The defensive midfielder is a confident dribbler who uses his close control to progress play.

Last season, as a schoolboy, Malundama featured in the Under-17 Premier League Cup and marked the occasion with a goal against Charlton Athletic.

He has signed the professional deal following his 17th birthday, having signed a scholarship contract back in July 2026.

Congratulations, Jayden!
