Chelsea starlet Martell Taylor-Crossdale has flown to Germany this morning to seal a permanent move to Hoffenheim.

According to Sky Sports, Taylor-Crossdale, a striker with the Stamford Bridge club, will undergo the Bundelisga club’s medical.

The 19-year old east Londoner was top scorer in the U18 Premier league in 2017 and has scored goals for England from U16 through to U20 level. He was also a member of the England U18 team that lifted the Toulon Tournament trophy in 2017.

The report adds that Chelsea made an initial offer to keep the teenager, before it was agreed he could leave the club on a free transfer.

Taylor-Crossdale, who has been at Chelsea for 11 years, is out of contract at the end of the month.

The player appears set to become the latest Brit to join Jadon Sancho in the Bundesliga.
