Summary

Story summary

Chelsea have agreed to sign 15-year-old U.S. youth international Benji Flowers from FC Dallas when he turns 18 for a $3 million fee.
Add-ons could raise the payment to $10 million if Flowers logs minutes before the 2026 season ends or meets U.S. youth-national-team milestones, a sell-on clause for Dallas.
Flowers travelled to London to finalise Chelsea’s share, which could push the total above the $5 million fee for Cavan Sullivan’s Manchester City move.
