Stoke City 'agree deal' to seal £3m Chelsea transfer - Stoke-on-Trent Live

Stoke City signed 19-year-old Ato Ampah from Chelsea in a deal worth up to £3 million with a heavy sell-on clause, reflecting financial and squad management rules.

  • On deadline day, Stoke agreed a deal to sign Ato Ampah from Chelsea and a medical was booked for today.
  • Faced with PSR pressure, Stoke City moved to sign Ampah alongside Rak-Sakyi to bolster squad depth and manage departures, sources said.
  • Reports show the package could be up to £3million, and Ampah, 19, has a UEFA Conference League appearance in December 2024.
  • Following the arrivals, Stoke loaned Favour Fawunmi to Leyton Orient on deadline day after signing Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, with Fawunmi seeking regular men's football on Saturday.
  • Accounting rules mean clubs can bank fees now and selling academy products lets clubs 'bank the whole fee' immediately while signings are amortised over contract length, creating accounting incentives to move youth players.
