German-born Nigerian RB bids farewell to Chelsea, joins Southampton

Posted : 05 July 2023
In a heartfelt departure message, German-born Nigerian right-back Derrick Abu has expressed his gratitude and fond memories with Chelsea as he looks forward to embarking on his next footballing journey with Southampton. 

While an official confirmation of the move is pending, Abu has already agreed to terms with the English Championship side, and his exit from Chelsea was confirmed through the club's retained and released list on the Premier League website. 

Having initially joined Chelsea's U11s and progressing through the ranks to feature for the U18s and development squad, Abu's dedication and progress culminated in signing his first professional contract in 2021. 

Despite not breaking into the Blues' first team, he cherishes the decade-long experience and growth provided by Chelsea. 

Abu took to Instagram to share his sentiments, expressing gratitude to the club and acknowledging that it is time to close this chapter and embrace the new challenge that awaits him at Southampton. 

With the Saints potentially facing the departure of their own right-back, Tino Livramento, who has been linked with a move to Chelsea, Abu sees an opportunity to showcase his skills and secure a place in Southampton's first team. 

Prior to finalizing his move to the English Championship outfit, Abu had also been linked with potential transfers to Crystal Palace and Brighton. 

As he begins a new chapter in his footballing journey, Abu is excited about the future and remains grateful to Chelsea for the invaluable experiences and support they provided during his time at the club.
