According to The Athletic, Ishe Samuels-Smith is poised to make a £4 million transfer from Everton to Chelsea.

The 17-year-old defender has reportedly agreed to a three-year contract with Stamford Bridge.

Samuels-Smith has spent his young career at Everton, progressing through the ranks and representing the club at Under-18 and Under-21 levels.

Although he has been part of the first-team squads, he has yet to make an appearance for the senior side.

The move to Chelsea presents a new opportunity for the talented defender to continue his development and potentially make his mark at a higher level.
