| Aaron Anselmino of Boca Juniors warms up before a Copa de la Liga 2024 group B match between Boca Juniors and Central Cordoba at Estadio Alberto J. Armando on February 14, 2024 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. |
Aaron Anselmino is a professional footballer who is set to join Chelsea from Argentine club Boca Juniors in 2025.
Chelsea have made a habit of signing exciting prospects from around the world in recent years, such as Kendry Paez and Estevao, and Anselmino appears to be next.
He has excelled at Boca Juniors in his limited game time at Boca and caught the attention of some of Europe’s top clubs.
And, according to reports, Chelsea have won the race to sign the Argentine wonderkid for a transfer fee of £14 million.
However, he will stay on loan with Boca until 2025 when he will join the likes of Cole Palmer and compatriot Enzo Fernandez in Chelsea’s first-team squad.
Aaron Anselmino height
Aaron Anselmino is six feet, one inch tall (1.86 metres), slightly about average within the Chelsea squad. He is the same height as Cesare Casadei and Wesley Fofana.
Aaron Anselmino position
Anselmino’s best position is centre-back, though he can also play as a defensive midfielder. He has the physicality that Premier League defenders need, as well as the composure on the ball that possession-based teams like Chelsea look for.
Aaron Anselmino preferred foot
Anselmino is right-footed but is said to be comfortable on either side of the centre-back pairing. Chelsea could see him as the long-term partner for the left-footed Levi Colwill.

Aaron Anselmino transfer value
Anselmino has a transfer value of £2.5m, according to Transfermarkt, which is a lot less than the reported £14m fee Chelsea are paying for his services. He only needs to make some noise in the Premier League for his value to skyrocket, though.
