Chelsea have swooped for young Luton brothers Rio, Cole and Jay Dasilva in separate five-figure transfers, which could rise to seven figures if the trio progress to the Blues' first team.

Twins Rio and Cole, 12, and older brother Jay, 13, have been part of the Hatters academy since the age of seven.

The club's head of youth, Gregg Broughton, told lutontown.co.uk: "I am hesitant to talk about the boys in the collective term because they have all have wonderful unique attributes, but this is a historical deal to see three brothers transferred together.

"Jay is a special talent, a fantastic student of the game whose temperament complements his technical ability. Cole has strong physical attributes and is very comfortable in possession, while Rio is a real livewire, whose ability to play in tight areas has always allowed him to shine.

"Their family has a strong footballing background with older brother Ryan playing as a professional here at Kenilworth Road and father Trevor also a very talented player in the past."
