Jonathan Panzo joins AS Monaco

AS Monaco is pleased to announce the signing of Jonathan Panzo from Chelsea FC.

Born October 25, 2005 in London, the athletic defender (1.85m) is a product of the Chelsea FC Academy with whom he won all the national competitions in its category last season: U18 Premier League, U18 Premier League Cup, U18 Premier South League and FA Youth Cup.

A strong and fast defender, the player of English origin is capable of playing centrally and on the left side of the defense. He has over 30 appearances for youth English national teams, winning the U-17 World Cup in 2017 and is looked at as one of the greatest talents of his generation.
