Chelsea has confirmed the signing of Alex Matos from English side Norwich City on a free transfer. The young English player can play as a winger or a midfielder.
Chelsea released an official statement on their website to confirm the signing of Alex Matos from Norwich City.
“Chelsea has completed the signing of Alex Matos from Norwich City,” the club confirmed.
“Capable of playing in midfield and attack, Matos featured for Norwich’s Under-18s and Under-21s last season. He scored three goals in the Premier League 2 for the latter.
“An England international at schoolboy level, Matos joined Norwich from Luton Town in 2016 and struck on his first outing for the Canaries’ youth team against Arsenal shortly after his 16th birthday.
“The 18-year-old averaged a goal involvement per game – five goals, six assists – in his first 11 appearances at that level and became a regular for Norwich’s Under-18s during the 2022/23 campaign, in which he was also handed his debut for the Under-21s.
“Welcome to Chelsea, Alex!”
