Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Swedish starlet Edwin Andersson when he turns 16, according to his father, the Daily Express reports.
The teenager currently plays for Swedish outfit IFK Gothenburg and has attracted interest from some of the European giants over the past six months.

The move appears to be incredibly ironic, as Chelsea have been handed a two-window transfer ban after their recruitment of foreign minors, however, the Blues have since appealed the ban, with a verdict expected from FIFA on Thursday.
And talking to Swedish publication Expressen, Mikael Andersson stated there has been plenty of interest over his son and revealed he has chosen to head to the British capital when he turns 16.

“There have been an incredible number of clubs from virtually all countries that have been interested in him. But he has chosen to go to Chelsea when it’s time.
“According to the rules, he must be 16 first and then it is up to the clubs to agree. There are still some details, but the day it’s time he has decided that it’ll be Chelsea.”


Mikael Andersson then revealed his son’s style of play, and despite many seeing the similarities with Cristiano Ronaldo, the father compared his son to rising Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Edwin Andersson does not turn 16 until November, so the Premier League side will have to play the waiting game if they are to secure the signature of the highly-rated teenager.
