Sol Gordon has signed his first professional contract with Chelsea shortly after celebrating his 17th birthday.

Gordon joined the club during his Under-8s season after progressing through our development centre programme and has moved through the age groups since, joining Hassan Sulaiman’s Under-18s squad full-time for the current campaign.

Last season he was part of the Chelsea Under-16s side which won the Premier League National Tournament and played a pivotal role in our Under-17 Premier League Cup victory, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers in the final at Molineux.

This season Gordon has continued to progress, scoring eight goals so far across the Under-18 Premier League and Under-18 Premier League Cup, most recently hitting a brace in Saturday's 4-1 win at Millwall in the latter competition.

Congratulations, Sol!
