Former teenage Chelsea defender in Derby switch

Ex-Chelsea defender Isak Ssewankambo has agreed a deal with ChampionshipDerby County, reports BBC Radio Derby. The 18 year old moves from NAC Breda on a free transfer after a trial period with the Rams.

The Sweden Under-21 international helped Chelsea win the FA Youth Cup in May 2014 with a goal in the second leg of the final against Fulham.

"We've had him over for a few days and he has impressed," said boss Steve McClaren.

"He has been playing first team in Holland and will have to come in and show us what he can do."
