@Bayer_Leverkusen’s Kerim Alajbegovic is among the attacking options being monitored by Chelsea. Any additions in this area of the pitch depend on sales.

The 18-year-old became the eighth youngest player to score at a World Cup when he found the net in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s 3-1 victory over Qatar last month. He was coming through the academy at Leverkusen when new Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso was head coach there between 2023 and 2025.

The winger carried that form into the 2025/26 season, opening the campaign with a hat-trick against Sheffield United in the Under-18 Premier League Cup before featuring for the Under-19s in the UEFA Youth League, where he also got on the scoresheet in a 5-0 victory over Qarabag.

Gordon rounded off the campaign by scoring Chelsea’s fourth goal in a 5-1 victory over Manchester City in the Under-18 Premier League National Final, finishing the season as the third-highest appearance-maker in the Under-18s squad.

𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋: Pep Chavarría has joined Chelsea from La Liga side Rayo Vallecano, signing a contract until June 2031.🤝

🗣️ On joining Chelsea, Chavarría said:

“I’m so excited to get started.

“This is a dream for me as Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world. It is a big opportunity but I am prepared and will work hard to help the team achieve success.

“There are a lot of people who have helped me get to this moment and I have to thank my family. They have always supported me and today is only possible because of them.”

Chavarria began his career with hometown side UE Figueres, then in the Spanish fourth tier. He made his senior debut at 18 years old against CF Peralada and over the next two seasons evolved into an attack-minded left-back.

In the summer of 2018, Chavarria signed with third-tier club UE Olot and instantly established himself as a starter and one of the division’s standout players.

He made 52 appearances for Olot before departing for Real Zaragoza, then in the Spanish second tier, in August 2020. Chavarria’s professional debut came the following month, starting a 2-2 draw with Las Palmas.

Once again, Chavarria adapted to the step up. He spent two full seasons with Zaragoza before reaching the top flight by signing for Rayo in August 2022.

Over the past four years, Chavarria has been a mainstay in the Rayo side. He has helped the club make history, with back-to-back eighth-place finishes recorded in La Liga over the past two seasons and a European final reached.

Chavarria featured 44 times last term as Rayo claimed a place in the UEFA Conference League final, where they were narrowly beaten by Crystal Palace.
