Chelsea swoop for Swiss starlet Elmer

CHELSEA are set to clinch the signature of rising Swiss star Jonas Elmer from Grasshopper Zurich.

The 17-year-old left-sided player underwent a medical at Stamford Bridge yesterday before agreeing personal terms.

Elmer, who will join the Blues on a three-year deal, is a highly-rated Switzerland U17 international and was spotted by Chelsea scout Gwyn Williams during a scouting trip to watch a Spanish player.
