Equipped for playing in midfield and assault, Matos highlighted for Norwich’s Under-18s and Under-21s last season. For the latter, he scored three goals in the Premier League 2.
Matos, who played for England as a schoolboy, moved to Norwich from Luton Town in 2016. Shortly after turning 16, he scored in his first appearance for the Canaries’ youth team against Arsenal.
The 18-year-old found the middle value of an objective contribution for each game – five objectives, six helps – in his initial 11 appearances at that level and turned into an ordinary for Norwich’s Under-18s during the 2022/23 mission, in which he was likewise given his presentation for the Under-21s.
Welcome to Chelsea, Alex!
