Chelsea have signed 18-year-old Aston Villa forward Omari Kellyman on a six-year contract in a deal worth up to £19 million ($24.02m), the south London club announced on Saturday.
Kellyman has made six first-team appearances for Villa since he joined the Birmingham club's youth academy from Derby County in 2022. He is also an England youth international.
"It's a massive club with an amazing history, so it is great to join... I want to be successful in the Chelsea shirt, win games and hopefully lift trophies," Kellyman said.
"Hopefully, I can become one of the faces on the side of the stadium. I want to become a big player for this club."
The teenager made his professional debut with Villa in August 2023 when he starred in the 3-0 win over Hibernian in the Europa Conference League.
This signing marks the second deal between Chelsea and Villa this week after Dutch defender Ian Maatsen swapped Stamford Bridge for Villa Park for a reported fee of £37.5m on Friday.
Kellyman is the second signing since Enzo Maresca was appointed as head coach.
