Adi Vivash, now Mark Robins assistant, gave the 20 year old his Chelsea U21's debut in 2016/2017.

Reports say that Wakefield, is out of contract on June 30th but can leave if he can find a new club which he has done, by ending his contract with the Premier League club and signing a one and a half year deal with the Sky Blues, following a free transfer..

Mark Robins told the club website about signing Wakefield: “We are very pleased to have signed Charlie. He has a very good upbringing through the Chelsea Academy, where he worked with Adi Viveash, and he was successful in his time there.

“He is a player with great technical ability and a lot of pace too, and will really add to our squad. We look forward to working with him, as he is a player who also has great potential to improve even further.”
