The 18-year-old joins the club from Chelsea’s Under-23 side on a contract until 30 June 2024. A left-footed player capable of operating in holding midfield and in defence, Mola has risen through the youth ranks at both club and international level, recently captaining the England Under-19s in a friendly against Germany. The teenager will wear the number six shirt at VfB.
Sporting director Sven Mislintat:
“We’re very happy and proud that Clinton, with his potential and quality, has decided to sign for us. For a current second-division side to win the race for such a hot property in the transfer market mustn’t be taken for granted. We believe Clinton will settle quickly in Germany and will help us meet our short- and medium-term objectives.”
Clinton Mola:
“I’m happy to have joined VfB and am looking forward to the future at this great club.”
