Kai Crampton Joins Bournemouth as Aniek Nouwen Signs New Chelsea Deal
Chelsea Football Club has announced that academy goalkeeper Kai Crampton has completed a permanent move to Bournemouth.
The transfer was confirmed on Monday through an official statement on the club’s website.
Crampton, who joined Chelsea at the Under-8 level through the club’s development center, has risen through the ranks at Cobham.
The young goalkeeper made an impact during the 2023/24 season, playing a key role in Chelsea’s Under-18 team, which clinched the Premier League South title.
Chelsea sent their best wishes to Crampton as he embarks on this new chapter with Bournemouth.
“We wish Kai all the best as he embarks on the next chapter of his career,” the statement read.
In another update, Chelsea also confirmed that Dutch defender Aniek Nouwen has signed a contract extension with the club’s women’s team, keeping her at Stamford Bridge until the summer of 2026.
Nouwen, who originally joined Chelsea in 2021, expressed her gratitude after securing the new deal.
“I am very grateful for this extension and the trust.
I am looking forward to returning to action and continuing my journey,” said the 25-year-old.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
