Gee joins City from Chelsea

Norwich City have completed the permanent signing of young defender Billy Gee from Premier League side Chelsea.

The 19-year-old has signed a contract until 2026 with a club option of a further year and will initially form part of City's development and academy set-up.

Predominantly a centre-back, Gee can also play as a defensive midfielder.

Gee has represented England's youth sides at Under-16, Under-17 and Under-19 level and has been with Chelsea since the age of eight.

He wore the captain's armband for the five-time Premier League Champions' Under-21s side throughout last season, and claimed a place on the bench for the first team's Carabao Cup tie against Liverpool in February earlier this year.

Upon signing for the Canaries, Gee spoke to the club's official channels: "I'm very happy, it's the start of a new chapter. I'm ready for the new challenge.

"I was captain last season for the (Chelsea) Under-21s so I think I can bring leadership skills and I think I can bring a lot of on-the-ball ability.

"I hope I can break through and try to push for the first team."
