The Blues posted on the club website: ‘Jack joined the Blues at the end of his Under-14s season following a spell with Cambridge United. He has progressed through the age groups and last term helped our Under-17s win the Premier League Cup after defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

‘Congratulations, Jack!’

We have seen in recent years that there are many players at Chelsea that have been unable to break their way into that first team having been at the club since they were very young, so Austin will be hoping that is not the case for him.

He has been at Chelsea for a good few seasons now and earning this massive contract is the first step into living his dream of playing for the Blues first team at some point.

But he will probably spent the next few seasons out on loan in order to get some needed game time, and if he is ready, he will get a chance at Chelsea.

However – he may also not get that chance and will need to consider whether staying at CHELSEA for the long run or trying to make it away from the club needs to happen, he is thrilled right now, but the future has all sorts of questions that will determine whether he makes it in the professional game, or he doesnt.

But it is great news for the lad now.

GYOKERES MESSAGE

Sporting president Varandas has been speaking on the future of CHELSEA target Victor Gyokeres, and revealed whether the Sporting Lisbon forward will depart the club when the January transfer window opens up in just a few weeks time

This season, he has already scored 23 goals in just 17 appearances, recently bagging a hat-trick against Manchester City in the Champions League and continuing to make a real name for himself at the Portuguese giants.

the likes of Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea are just three clubs that are reportedly ready to splash the cash and bring the in-demand striker to the Premier League, and it is looking much more likely that a transfer happens after the departure of Amorim.

Amorim’s agent Hasan Cetinkaya revealed in the summer that Gyokeres was only at Sporting because of Amorim, and there has been some suggestions that the striker may be open to the idea of leaving Sporting when the transfer window opens up in January.

But now Varandas has been speaking on the future of Chelsea target and is hoping that Gyokeres does not leave, on the striker he said: “I can’t promise anything. If a club arrives and pays the release clause, if he wants to go… he will go”. “But I do NOT think this will happen in January”, he added

Where Will Gyokeres Go?

There has been may clubs linked with the player and CHELSEA are one of the sides that are willing to splash some serious money in order to get a transfer deal done, but so are Arsenal and Man United.

United are favourites because that is where Amorim is, but it will all come down to money and who offers the most, but it is looking more and more likely that Gyokeres does come to the Premier League that is for sure.

However – it may be a mistake to leave the Giants in the middle of the season and we are sure that a move in the summer is much more likely to happen for the player.

TOMAS ARAUJO WANTED

Fabrizio Romano has said CHELSEA are big fans of Tomas Araujo, who is currently a regular at the back for Benfica, and are ready to make a move for the defender as they seek to improve that back-line.

Chelsea have spent some serious money in the last couple of transfer windows and added players to the side that they believed would take the club forward and back challenging for Champions League and Premier League football.

But despite the clubs quality attacking ability, there has been some issues that is causing Enzo Maresca at the back as the club have been unable to fill the leadership void that Thiago Silva left after he decided to depart the club and top level football.

There has been so much speculation and rumours linking Chelsea with all sorts of top level defenders, and now it seems that the Blues board are eying up a potential move to bring Araujo to the Premier League from Benfica.

Araujo has established himself as one of the best young prospects in his country since breaking into the first-team squad at SL Benfica. A native of Famalicao, he spent his formative years with four clubs in Portugal before graduating from the youth division at SL Benfica.

Chelsea considered a late move for the Portuguese defensive prospect in the summer transfer window before the deal failed to see the light of day. The Blues remain keen on signing Araujo amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile.

Now, according to the O Jogo Newspaper (Tuesday November 12), Chelsea are one of a host of Premier League clubs who have made contact with the Champions League side about potentially signing him.

Araujo is a very talented young defender that could develop into a top-level star, if he makes the right career choices. He would be a very good signing for CHELSEA , but he may not be quite ready to handle the quality of the Premier League.

He is a few seasons away from being completely ready.
