Everton defender Ishé Samuels-Smith has joined Chelsea.
The 17-year-old graduated through the Goodison Park club’s ranks from the age of nine before his move to the Londoners.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side are reported to have struck a £4m deal to bring Samuels-Smith to Stamford Bridge.
The Toffees confirmed that they received “significant compensation” in the process of parting with the teenager.
Samuels-Smith did not make a senior appearance for Sean Dyche’s side but was included in their matchday squad that faced Fulham in April.
