This move for Matos is definitely not a surprise as Chelsea owner, Todd Boehly since his arrival at the club has completed a series of youth transfers while building for the future at the same time. The Blues have under his era, seen the completion of deals for some of the best youngsters in the sport, Omari Hutchinson, Cesare Casadei, Zak Sturge, Andrey Santos, Gabriel Slonina... and an endless list of names.
Matos primarily plays as a right winger but has played in multiple positions this season, including central midfield, left wing, and attacking midfield.
He has played in both the U18 and U21 sides for Norwich this term, scoring one goal and providing four assists in 22 appearances across competitions.
