Chelsea have announced the signing of Jimmy-Jay Morgan from Southampton.

The Blues have splashed out 3million plus add-ons to sign the highly-rated England youth international.

Morgan, 17, is the latest wonderkid to come through the Southampton academy - following in the footsteps of the likes of Gareth Bale and Luke Shaw.

According to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the striker has penned a three-and-a-half year deal with the Blues.

The youngster scored 27 goals for Southampton's Under-16s last year, before adding another 13 after being promoted to the Saints' Under-18s.

Morgan's exploits saw him reach the fringes of the first team, being named on Southampton's bench for the 3-1 Premier League defeat to Brighton on Boxing Day - as well on further occasions in both domestic cups.
