"Yisa Alao has been linked with a move away from Sheffield Wednesday in recent months. The 17-year-old youngster is highly rated across the country, and several top clubs are monitoring his progress. A report from The Star, the player is now in on a January transfer to Chelsea. Sheffield Wednesday will receive a six-figure fee from the Premier League club, and there will be substantial add-ons included in the deal."
"Everton and Manchester City were interested in signing the 17-year-old as well, but Chelsea has won the race for his signature. The Blues have shown a willingness to invest in young talent in recent years, and they are looking to add to the formidable pool at the club. The wingback can operate both defensively and in a more advanced role. He was handed his first Championship start recently and impressed against Portsmouth."
