Mason Burstow sends message to Charlton Athletic fans after sealing Chelsea switch

Mason Burstow has completed his move from Charlton Athletic to Chelsea for an undisclosed fee.

The 18-year-old, who signed for the Addicks from Maidstone United in 2020, has scored six goals for the Addicks this season and will remain in SE7 on loan for the remainder of the campaign.

Burstow follows in the footsteps of many youngsters who made their first inroads into senior professional football at The Valley, since relegation from the Premier League in 2007, before being picked up by top-flight clubs.

The skillful striker was absent from the Addicks’ 2-1 win at Portsmouth on Monday evening after the club accepted a bid from the Champions League holders late on Deadline Day.

Burstow took to Twitter this afternoon to share his reaction to the confirmation of his transfer.

He wrote: “Delighted for it to be official, I’ll keep my head down and stay fully committed to @CAFCofficial 110%.”
