Chelsea in advanced talks to sell academy talent Jimmy-Jay Morgan to West Brom | OneFootball

Chelsea are in advanced talks to sell academy talent Jimmy-Jay Morgan to West Bromwich Albion, according to the BBC.

Morgan’s contract with Chelsea is set to run out at the end of next season, and they have no plans to extend his deal beyond 2027.

Rather than let him leave on a free transfer, Chelsea are ready to sanction a permanent exit for the 20-year-old this summer.

The Blues are expecting a modest transfer fee, but they’re expected to include a significant sell-on clause as part of the agreement.

Morgan is considered one of the most exciting young attacking talents available on the market after an impressive loan spell with Peterborough United during the 2025/26 campaign.

The England youth international enjoyed a productive season, bagging 12 goals and three assists in 34 League One appearances.

Capable of playing both as a striker and in an advanced midfield role, Morgan’s versatility has attracted attention from several Championship clubs.

He was previously linked with Sheffield United, Swansea City and Preston North End. However, West Brom are leading the race and working to finalise a deal.

Morgan joined Chelsea from Southampton in 2022. The Blues paid an initial £3 million to secure his services when he was just 17 years old.

Since then, he has continued his development through loan spells, with former Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson praising his finishing ability.

Chelsea are expected to be active in the transfer window as they prepare for a new era under Xabi Alonso.
