After months of negotiations, Amara Keïta has officially joined Chelsea for a trial period set to last over two weeks. The London club secured the trial ahead of other interested British teams, including Nottingham Forest, Watford, and Leicester City. A source close to the situation informed Africafoot that Chelsea's management considered the player a priority because of his performances at the School World Cup. Udinese is also monitoring Keïta from Italy. The same source confirmed that after his time in Great Britain, the player is scheduled to visit the Italian club's facilities. If his trial at Chelsea is unsuccessful, Nottingham Forest is expected to be his next destination for another test.
