Chelsea is pleased to announce the signing of Mathis Amougou from
Saint-Etienne.
The midfielder has signed an eight-year contract and will begin training with
his team-mates in the coming days.
'I'm very happy,' Amougou said. 'It's an honour for me to sign for such a big
club like Chelsea. They believe in young players and the process they have in
place to develop us is fantastic.'
Amougou made his debut for Saint-Etienne at the start of last season against
Nimes and featured in Ligue 2 as the club secured promotion to the French top
flight.
The 19-year-old established himself as a regular starter in the Saint-Etienne
midfield at the beginning of the current campaign and made 17 appearances in
Ligue 1.
On the international stage, Amougou has been capped at several age groups by
France. He notably claimed the Bronze Ball for his performances at the 2023
Under-17 World Cup and received his first call-up to the Under-20 squad
earlier this season.
Welcome to Chelsea, Mathis.
