Chelsea is pleased to announce that Genesis Antwi has signed a new three-year contract with the Blues, which includes a further two-year option.
The defender joined our Academy as an Under-12 and has been developed through the age groups at Cobham.
Last season, Genesis made 19 appearances for our Under-18s, scoring twice, before moving into the Under-21s where he made 12 appearances.
He has remained with the Under-21s this season and scored the opening goal – a stunning passing move that involved all but one Chelsea player – in yesterday’s UEFA Youth League 3-2 victory over Bayern Munich.
Fresh off signing a new contract with the Blues, Genesis Antwi was on the scoresheet in our UEFA Youth League win over Bayern Munich…
Genesis’ form has also resulted in senior involvement, as he was named in the match-day squad for our Premier League win over Leicester City in March.
The 18-year-old’s first-team debut came soon after, as he was introduced as a substitute in the second leg of our Conference League victory over FC Copenhagen. A second senior outing followed in the semi-final against Djurgarden.
On the international stage, the defender has represented Sweden at Under-19 level.
