Tino, who first trained with Chelsea at the age of six, officially signed as an under-9 and progressed through our Academy at Cobham.

Tino signed his first professional contract in November 2018 and made the step up to our Under-21s squad ahead of the 2019/20 season.

It proved an impressive campaign for the midfielder as he was handed his senior debut against Grimsby Town, made his Premier League debut against Everton, and helped the Under-21s win Premier League 2.

Tino was involved in several match-day squads throughout the following season and made his Champions League debut. He was also part of the travelling squad for our Champions League final against Manchester City in Porto – and has since embarked on several loan spells.

We would like to thank Tino for all his efforts while at the club and wish him well as he begins the next chapter in his career.
