With a statement on their official website, Swedish Allsvenskan side IFK Göteborg have announced that promising winger Edwin Andersson has joined Premier League side Chelsea with immediate effect.

Speaking on the deal, Academy Manager, Jonas Olsson said to IFK Göteborg's website : "We of course wish Edwin good luck. We would have liked to have seen him stay with us but that he is being recruited to Chelsea is a good mark on our business."
