According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea has finalised the signing of Charlton Athletic teenager Mason Burstow on transfer deadline day. The 18-year-old has been returned to the League One club on loan until the end of the season.
Burstow's achievements at Charlton Athletic drew interest from a number of Premier League clubs, including Brentford. The European champions, on the other hand, were able to get the highly-rated forward after making a "significant bid."Charlton Athletic's Mason Burstow has had a breakout season in League One. This season, the forward has six goals in 15 appearances for the club in all competitions.
Burstow's impending move to the Premier League giants has been confirmed by Charlton Athletic boss Johnnie Jackson. According to reports, he said:
‘’Mason has received a bid from a Premier League team, so we've given him permission to speak with them. I feel that a deal is extremely close to being reached, and that he will be returning to us on loan. It's fantastic that the club and the chairman have reached an agreement that satisfies him. However, we also get the player back."
"It's nice to know that if we can get him back on loan, I'll be able to continue to assist with that. Hopefully, we'll be able to transfer him to Chelsea as a greater player than he is right now.'"
Chelsea has a reputation for developing some of England's most brilliant young players. Mason Mount, Reece James, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Tammy Abraham have all come through the Blues' development system in recent seasons.
However, any new footballer should be aware that breaking into the Blues' first team is a difficult challenge.
Chelsea has a busy month ahead of them in February.
Chelsea will have a huge month in February, as they have the possibility to win two major trophies. The Blues will compete in the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates as European winners.
The team of Thomas Tuchel will compete in the semi-finals of the competition. This means they only need to win two games to win the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time. Chelsea also advanced to the Carabao Cup final after defeating Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 on aggregate in the semi-final. The Blues will face Liverpool in the final at Wembley Stadium on February 27th.
