Chelsea have completed the signing of 18-year-old Charlton striker Mason Burstow, who will return to The Valley for the remainder of the season.
Following the closure of the window, Chelsea confirmed that they struck a deal to sign Burstow, who has returned to Charlton for the rest of the campaign. The 18-year-old has shown immense potential after breaking into the Charlton first-team this season, having scored six goals in 14 appearances for the Addicks.
Charlton manager Johnnie Jackson said: “He is someone that we love here. I’m really fond of him and love his attitude, it has been great to see him develop. We’re enjoying helping him develop and giving him the opportunities he’s had so far.
“It is great the club has got a deal the chairman is happy with and that we are getting him back on loan.”
Chelsea have been following Burstow for a while and had the young striker on trial back in 2020, but after declining to sign him at that point, they have paid up to bring him in now.
It has been enough for Chelsea to pounce for his signature, with the club website confirming his signing on Tuesday.
Barstow will now return to the League One side for the rest of the 2021/22 campaign.
