The Blues disclosed this in a post on their website on Monday, that Riley Ebho and Jashayde Greenwood have signed scholarship contracts with the club’s Under-18s and that both players will join Hassan Sulaiman’s squad, who have made a strong start to the new campaign in the Under-18 Premier League.
