Overview
- Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday that Chelsea and West Brom have agreed a permanent deal for Jimmy‑Jay Morgan worth a reported £4m with a sell‑on clause built in.
- Sources say a full agreement between the clubs and the player is in place and that an official announcement is expected imminently.
- Morgan joined Chelsea from Southampton in early 2023 and scored 21 goals in 46 Under‑21 appearances before a productive loan at Peterborough, where he netted around 14 senior goals last season.
- Chelsea negotiated the sell‑on clause to retain future upside from the forward and recent reporting noted the club can still show an accounting profit on the sale because of player amortisation rules.
- West Brom view Morgan as a low‑risk, high‑upside addition as they reinforce their attack under James Morrison and give the 20‑year‑old clearer access to regular Championship minutes.
