    Chelsea have signed 18-year-old midfielder Harrison Bettoni from Wigan Athletic.

    Bettoni joins on a four year contract, with the League One club due training compensation.

    It is expected that Bettoni, whose contract at Wigan expired in June, will spend a season in Chelsea's academy teams and on the fringes of Xabi Alonso's first-team squad.

    The Stockport-born forward made 27 appearances for Wigan at senior level in a breakthrough 2025-26 campaign, scoring four goals, including his side's goal of the season for his debut goal against AFC Wimbledon.

    He also featured against Arsenal in an FA Cup fourth-round tie.

    Bettoni has been at Wigan since under-13s level having joined from Bury in 2019.

    McManaman, who helped Wigan win the FA Cup in 2013, has made a total of 229 appearances for the Latics.

    "Wigan Athletic has been a huge part of my life for a long time, so to be able to continue my journey here means everything to me," he said.

    "I still feel I've got plenty to offer on the pitch, and I'll always be ready to contribute whenever I'm needed, but I'm also really excited about the opportunity to help some of the younger lads coming through."
