"Yisa Alao's Chelsea debut comes to an end after 55 minutes for the U18 side. They're 2-1 up vs Fulham thanks to goals from Mathis Eboue and Sol Gordon, with two assists from Chizzy Ezenwata. Good debut from Alao, who was signed from Sheffield Wednesday for over £500k in January this year."
"Yisa Alao joined Chelsea for over £500k just over a month ago after impressing in some breakthrough appearances for Championship side Sheffield Wednesday. His rapid rise from the Owls youth system to the Premier League was fueled by a breakout 2025/26 campaign at Hillsborough, where he clocked nearly 200 minutes of first-team football."
"Yisa Alao has been impressive on debut and should have a goal too, dragging a shot just wide."
Yisa Alao, signed by Chelsea from Sheffield Wednesday for over £500k in January, made his academy debut for the Under-18s against Fulham. The teenage full-back had impressed during a breakout 2025/26 campaign at Sheffield Wednesday, accumulating nearly 200 minutes of first-team football before his move to the Premier League club. Rather than integrating into Chelsea's first team immediately, the club opted to develop him within the youth system. Alao's debut performance was positive, playing 55 minutes as Chelsea won 2-1 with goals from Mathis Eboue and Sol Gordon. Observers noted his impressive display, with one account noting he should have scored, dragging a shot just wide.
