Chelsea could be set to lose another starlet after news emerged that 18-year-old Tino Livramento is on the cusp of joining Brighton. Midfielder Lewis Bate, highly-rated at Stamford Bridge, is close to leaving Chelsea for Leeds Utd in a £1.5 million deal, as a number of young players at the club apparently consider their future. Myles Peart-Harris, Dynel Sime and Ike Ugbo are three other academy players who could leave on a permanent basis this summer, apparently looking for guaranteed first-team minutes elsewhere. The exit of Livramento could prove to be a damaging one. Livramento features as a right wing-back or a right midfielder. Livramento was born in November of 2002, making him 18 years old. Livramento is Chelsea’s Academy Player of the Year for 2020/21 which can’t really be underestimated as the Blues have a plethora of talent in their youth squads. As a wing-back, he is expected to contribute both in defence and attack, and he does so. In his last full season with the Chelsea youth team he recorded an impressive 13 assists and three goals in 26 appearances. Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel praised Livramento and fellow youth player Tino Anjorin. “I love the academy boys. We have Anjorin and Livramento regularly joining training. The academy has outstanding quality.
