Town to Sign Chelsea Youngster - Ipswich Town News
Town are set to sign Chelsea youngster Somto Boniface to join John McGreal’s U21s squad.
A deal was agreed last week and will complete today ahead of the transfer window closing at 11pm this evening.
Boniface, 18, joined the West Londoners aged nine and was named Academy Scholar of the Year in 2022/23, but is yet to make a senior appearance.
The Londoner has been capped by England at U15, U16, U17 and U18 levels, but is also eligible for Nigeria.
Town view Boniface as one for the future and is not expected to be involved with Kieran McKenna’s squad anytime soon.
