Anjorin has been with Chelsea since the age of seven, joining their development centre program before officially signing with the club at the under-nine level.
The talented midfielder made his senior debut for the Blues in September 2019 during a commanding 7-1 EFL Cup victory against Grimsby Town.
Despite his promise, Anjorin’s has found first-team action at Chelsea hard to come, having made only 5 appearances.
However, the young attacking midfielder’s talent is evident with his incredible statistics. He has scored 41 goals and assisted another 19 in 123 games across his career at all levels so far.
Now, Anjorin is set to embark on a new chapter in his career with Empoli in Serie A. The move presents an opportunity for the 22-year-old to further his development in a top European league. At Empoli, Anjorin will look to make his mark and aim to establish himself as a key player.
For Chelsea, the transfer marks the end of Anjorin’s long association with the club’s academy, but it also provides the player with a fresh start and the chance to achieve regular first-team football.
