Pape Daouda Diong was in stand to witness Chelsea’s 4-2 win over Newcastle United in EFL Cup

According to a post by Fabrizio Romano on X, Chelsea are nearing a transfer agreement for highly-regarded Senegalese wunderkind Pape Daouda Diong, a midfielder.

Details are provided below. According to Romano, Diong attended Chelsea’s match versus Newcastle United yesterday at Stamford Bridge. The young player was seen sitting next to Kendry Paez, another exciting prospect who will soon sign with the Blues.

Following the acquisition of the team by Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, Chelsea fans will be thrilled to see their team making another move to sign some of the most intriguing young athletes in the world. The West London powerhouse have really stepped up their efforts to attract talent.

Although it will take an extended period for Mauricio Pochettino to transform this squad into the championship machine that they were for a large portion of the Roman Abramovich era, it appears that the correct foundation is being set for success going forward.

It will be interesting to watch what Diong can accomplish once he joins Chelsea’s first squad. He appears to be yet another incredible talent with a bright future.

Diong was present yesterday night as Chelsea, under dramatic circumstances, secured their spot in the EFL Cup semifinals.

A late goal by Mykhailo Mudryk turned Stamford Bridge into a frenzy and forced a penalty shootout when it appeared like they were about to lose to Newcastle United.

In only the second match for the team, Djordje Petrovic produced a huge save that turned him from an ordinary player into an inspiration. The Blues were flawless from the penalty spot.

Future great Kendry Paez was in the spectators for the first time, having just finished his domestic season in Ecuador.
