Chelsea Seal Deadline-Day Moves for Buonanotte and Matos

Chelsea wrapped up transfer deadline day with the confirmation of two player moves involving Facundo Buonanotte and Alex Matos.

The club announced that Buonanotte has joined the Blues on a season-long loan from fellow Premier League side Brighton. The 19-year-old midfielder is expected to add depth to Mauricio Pochettino’s squad for the new campaign.

In a separate update, Chelsea confirmed the permanent departure of Alex Matos to Sheffield United. The 20-year-old midfielder joined Chelsea in 2023 and made his senior debut as a late substitute against Fulham the following October.

Matos featured consistently for Chelsea’s Under-21s in the first half of last season before securing a loan move to Oxford United in January, where he gained valuable first-team experience.
