"Chelsea have matched our valuation and, as part of the deal, he will come back to us on loan which was important for us," he added.

The 18-year-old has enjoyed a stunning rise to prominence since shooting to fame with his debut goal against Crawley Town.

Burstow has gone on to feature 14 times for the Addicks, scoring an impressive six goals in the process.

Daily Mail reports his goalscoring prowess saw him court the interest of a number of clubs including EPL side, Brentford.
