Hull City are delighted to announce the signing of young forward Mason Burstow from Premier League side Chelsea for an undisclosed fee.
The 21-year-old has penned a four-year deal at the MKM Stadium, with a club option of a further year.
The England Under-20 international signed for Charlton Athletic from Welling United as a second-year scholar in October 2020 and scored with his first touch in professional football the following August.
He joined Chelsea for a seven-figure fee in February 2022 and immediately returned to The Valley on loan, finishing the 2021/22 season with six goals and three assists in 23 Addicks appearances.
Greenwich-born Burstow’s three senior appearances for the Blues came at the start of last season, coming off the bench twice in the Premier League and starting in the EFL Cup.
Signing for Sunderland in September, the talented frontman played 20 Championship matches on loan at the Stadium of Light and scored once in a 3-1 victory over Stoke City.
Burstow said: “It’s a big accomplishment for myself. I’m really excited to be here. There’s a real homely feel about the club, with big aspirations, and I’m excited to be a part of it.
“There’s a real project here. The new manager has got a way of playing that is really bright, really attacking and positive.
“I play through the middle and always try to be a threat in the box. I can link play, hold it up and run in behind. Hopefully, there are different avenues the manager can use me.
“Sunderland was a learning curve but hopefully Hull is the place I can kick on and make a statement for myself.”
Welcome, Mason!
