Who is Daishawn Redan? The 16-year-old Dutch wonderkid Chelsea beat Man Utd to sign

The 16-year-old is tipped for a great future after impressing in Ajax's youth system before sealing the move to Stamford Bridge

COMMENT

A prolific goalscorer in Ajax’s youth system, Daishawn Redan has been gaining attention as a young striker with an immense future.

Although Ajax saw him as a future star, the 16-year-old has departed the Amsterdam side and rejected interest from Manchester United, Manchester City and RB Leipzig to join Chelsea.

As he heads to Stamford Bridge, the Eredivisie side wave goodbye to a player who joined the club at eight years old and consistently outshone those of his age group, so much so that he featured for the Under 19s.
