Redan pictured with Chelsea shirt as he completes Premier League transfer


Chelsea appear to have wrapped up their second signing of the summer after Ajax wonderkid Daishawn Redan was pictured holding up a club shirt at Stamford Bridge.

The 16-year-old is regarded as one of the most promising youngsters to come through the ranks at Ajax in recent times and has been tracked by a number of European giants.

Manchester United, Man City and RB Leipzig have all been linked with the teenager, but it now looks certain that it is Chelsea who have got their man.
Reports emerged in Redan’s native Netherlands at the end of June suggesting he had agreed a professional deal with the Premier League champions and would sign once the window opened.

And now he has been pictured holding up a Chelsea shirt at the club’s stadium, with an officialThere is one note of caution, however, with the white trimmings on the shirt Redan is holding suggesting he is lifting up last season’s kit, rather than Nike’s new all-blue version.

Also, while the No.9 shirt is vacant ever since Radamel Falcao left the club, the teenager is highly unlikely to be handed it in his maiden season at the club announcement expected imminently.

Nevertheless, Ajax announced back in March that Redan would leave the club at the end of the season.

‘We have mapped out a path for him and there is depth discussions with him and his management,’ Ajax youth coach Said Ouaali revealed.

That there is no agreement at the last moment is extremely regrettable, obviously they have put something else on their minds.

‘We have made every effort to maintain a great talent as Daishawn for the club but at some point it stops."

Naira values at 390/dollar

It was a huge rise for the Naira as there as it recorded a major gain on Wednesday, closing at 390 per United States dollar at the parallel market, up from 405/dollar on Tuesday. This came barely 24 hours after the Central Bank of Nigeria announced the injection of $280m into the various segments of the forex market and the commencement of its weekly $20,000 sale to licensed Bureau De Change operators. Before closing at 405/dollar on Tuesday, a day after the Easter holidays, the local unit had closed flat at 410/dollar for seven consecutive days. As a result, currency analysts had expressed concerns over the exchange rate resistance to the CBN’s continued dollar supply into the forex market aimed at bridging the gap between parallel and official exchange rates. Last week, some currency analysts predicted the naira would appreciate this week if the central bank sustained its interventions in the market. Some experts, however, expressed doubt that the CBN possessed the s...

How Lukaku Outclass Aguero In Asia Tournament.

Lukaku showed his pace and power as he put United ahead after rounding City’s debutant goalkeeper Ederson – who experienced a mixed evening – in the 37th minute and Pep Guardiola’s men crumbled again before half-time. Playing with Lukaku for the first time, Marcus Rashford was not overshadowed as he produced a clinical finish to double the lead two minutes later. Aside from Eric Bailly, Jose Mourinho named arguably his strongest XI, with David de Gea, Antonio Valencia, Victor Lindelof, Chris Smalling, Daley Blind, Ander Herrera, Paul Pogba, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Jesse Lingard, Rashford and Lukaku in the line-up. City fans got a glimpse of Ederson and Walker for the first time, while Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne, Vincent Kompany, Raheem Sterling and Yaya Toure also started, with star recruit Bernardo Silva still away on holiday following the Confederations Cup. With the worker bee – a symbol of Manchester’s industrial heritage – on United and City’s jerseys in respect to those ...
