It may not be the Chelsea summer signing that is greeted by the most fanfare, but it will nonetheless interest Blues fans to know that they have finalised the signing of Switzerland Under 16 international Miro Muheim from FC Zurich.
Pictures posted on Twitter today showed Muheim signing his deal at Stamford Bridge, and becoming the latest young foreign start to pen a deal with the West London club:

Not a great deal is known of Muheim, other than that he is a highly rated midfielder who plays international youth football for his native Switzerland and joins Chelsea from FC Zurich, the second club in the country’s largest city.
Muheim will join Chelsea’s hugely successful Under 18 squad, the current holders of the FA Youth Cup, but will have to prove to be very special indeed if he is to break with the trend and become a Chelsea teenager to make it into the Stamford Bridge first team.
