    Chelsea have signed 18-year-old midfielder Harrison Bettoni from Wigan Athletic.

    Bettoni joins on a four year contract, with the League One club due training compensation.

    It is expected that Bettoni, whose contract at Wigan expired in June, will spend a season in Chelsea's academy teams and on the fringes of Xabi Alonso's first-team squad.

    The Stockport-born forward made 27 appearances for Wigan at senior level in a breakthrough 2025-26 campaign, scoring four goals, including his side's goal of the season for his debut goal against AFC Wimbledon.

    He also featured against Arsenal in an FA Cup fourth-round tie.

    Bettoni has been at Wigan since under-13s level having joined from Bury in 2019.
