Chelsea is pleased to announce the signing of Jesse Derry, with the 18-year-old agreeing a contract with the Blues until 2029.

An England Under-19 international, Derry arrives at Stamford Bridge from Premier League side Crystal Palace.

Derry made his Under-18s debut for the Eagles while still a schoolboy – and was named Palace’s Under-18s Player of the Season at the end of the 2023/24 campaign.

Last term, he featured for Palace’s Under-18s and made the step up to Under-21s football.

He also represented England at this summer’s UEFA European Under-19 Championship.

Welcome to Chelsea, Jesse!
