Shumaira Mheuka has signed a new contract with Chelsea through to 2031 and joined Scottish champions Celtic on loan for the 2026/27 campaign.

The striker joined Chelsea aged 13 and now has nine senior appearances for the Blues since his debut in a UEFA Conference League win at Astana in December 2024.

The 18-year-old was named the 2025/26 Premier League 2 Player of the Season after captaining Chelsea Under-21s to a first-place league finish, scoring 18 goals in 19 appearances in that competition.

Mheuka will now spend the current campaign gaining further senior experience with Celtic, who have made a strong start to their Scottish Premiership title defence, winning each of their first three league games.

All at Chelsea wish Shim luck in Scotland and look forward to monitoring his continued progress at Celtic Park.
