NEW SIGNING CONFIRMED - Dynel Simeu from Chelsea, 19, CB for £1.5mil.

{Ed002's Note - Dynel Simeu will prove to be a worthwhile buy.}

For once this appears to be shrewd and smart business. Makes a nice change.

One thing I don’t get is how Chelsea have inserted a sell-on clause when he is out of contract?

Think it’s to do with his age, players under a certain age always need a fee paying. One that sticks out to me is Harvey Elliott to Liverpool on a free transfer but due to his age Liverpool ended up paying about £7mil (could have been less) . I think us accepting a high sell on % has helped us to pay a lesser fee. We also won’t start paying the £1.5m until he actually starts playing in the first team so doesn’t go into this summers transfer budget yet (unless he starts first game of the season) .

If that’s the case then that’s a smart move. And from such a sell-on fee being reported they’re clearly expecting big fees being earned off him in future… hopefully this signals the end of Stephens starting league games.
