Northampton Soccer Prodigy Signed by Chelsea

Editor October 16, 2010

Northampton Town U-11 youngster Michael Gyasi has signed for Premier League giants Chelsea for an undisclosed fee that will rise considerably subject to various targets being met.

Striker Gyasi, who lives in Northampton, was part of the Cobblers Centre of Excellence for the last three years, and Head of the Centre Trevor Gould was delighted to see the youngster get his move.

“Not only is this is a superb opportunity for Michael but it reinforces the quality of player we are bringing both into the club and through our Centre of Excellence,” Gould said. “Michael has progressed well and has improved with our coaching, and while we obviously want to produce and keep our best players, when a Premier League club like Chelsea come knocking then as long as the deal is right for the club, we will never stand in a boy’s way. It would not be fair on them or their parents to do so.”

Chairman David Cardoza said, “Over the last few years we have seen a few players come through our youth system and either progress into our first team, or move on to Premier League clubs. We are developing a proud tradition of being a superb Centre of Excellence and the calibre of players we are now producing is of the highest standard, meaning that Premier League clubs are often looking at our players.”

Head of Youth Sean Parrish added, “I would like to congratulate Michael Gyasi on his move and wish him every success in his footballing career. All credit must go to him and his family for all the support and patience they have shown while all the negotiations have taken place.”
