Jamaican Hector signs for Chelsea
London: English football club Chelsea have completed the signing of Jamaican defender Michael Hector for four million pounds.
The 23-year-old, who represents Reading in League Championship, made his international debut three months ago and has since has been capped six times for Jamaica.
Hector underwent a medical at Chelsea’s Cobham Training Centre on Tuesday before signing the contract hours before the transfer deadline, as per reports.
The player, however, will remain at Reading on loan for the remainder of the season.
“Chelsea have completed the signing from Reading. The centre-back, who has signed a five-year-contract, will return to Reading and spend the remainder of this season on loan at the Madejski Stadium,” Chelsea said.
Hector made 49 appearances in all competitions for Reading last season while scoring three goals, in what was a breakout season. He was called up for Jamaica’s Copa America campaign and started all three matches against Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.
Hector also featured in the CAF Gold Cup in July when Jamaica became the first Caribbean side to reach the final before losing to Mexico.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
