Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Chelsea have signed a teenage defender according to the the CEO of Romanian club Viitorul Constanta.
Romanian journalist Emanuel Rosu broke the news that the Blues had signed 17-year-old Cristian Manea, but the Premier League champions are yet to mention the deal on any of their official channels.
Manea is highly-rated and can play across the defence or as a holding midfielder.
He has previously been linked with a £2million move to west London and made his international debut at just 16. He would likely have to spend a year at Chelsea's feeder club Vitesse Arnhem before being granted a work permit to play in England.
Until Chelsea announce anything officially it should be perhaps taken with a pinch of salt.
