Revelations of Chelsea’s interest in Samuels-Smith were first unveiled by Mail Sport in their exclusive segment, Transfer Confidential, adding fuel to the anticipation surrounding the teenager’s future. Manchester City had also kept a watchful eye on his progress, but it seems Chelsea has emerged as the frontrunner in securing his signature.
Samuels-Smith’s exceptional performances for Everton’s youth sides last season captured the attention of many. Impressively, he earned a spot on the bench for the first team during their 4-1 loss to Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup last November. He repeated the feat in April during the first team’s 3-1 defeat to Fulham.
Having been a fixture at Everton since the tender age of nine, Samuels-Smith’s journey has been one of remarkable growth and development. Representing England at Under-15, Under-16, and Under-17 levels, he has demonstrated his immense potential on the international stage as well.

Dubbed ‘the next Leighton Baines,’ Samuels-Smith’s playing style and skill set have drawn comparisons to the legendary Everton left-back. This rising star has been an integral part of Everton’s first-team squad since September, making a notable impression alongside his brother, Odin, who is also part of Everton’s ranks.
Reflecting on Samuels-Smith’s first taste of the Premier League by being named on the bench against Fulham, Everton manager Sean Dyche shared his words of wisdom: “That’s part of being a Premier League player. You have to deal with stress and pressure all the time. Ishe, a young kid, is on the bench today, and I said: ‘Brilliant day for you, son, because you’ll learn what it really is.’ The good stuff always looks after itself.”
Joining Chelsea will see Samuels-Smith join forces with an exciting cohort of fellow recruits, including Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson, Alex Matos, and Diego Moreira, who have also made their way to Stamford Bridge this summer. This dynamic group is poised to make waves and leave an indelible mark on Chelsea’s future.
