Ryan Kavuma-McQueen: Portsmouth linked with Chelsea U21 winger

Ryan Kavuma-McQueen, an English-Ugandan 17-year-old at Chelsea U21, is being linked with a move to Portsmouth. The right winger is currently part of Chelsea’s Premier League 2 set-up, while Portsmouth compete in the Championship.

The rumour, dated 2 August 2026, would involve Kavuma-McQueen moving from Chelsea’s under-21 side to the senior English football league. No transfer has been confirmed, and the available information does not establish whether Portsmouth have made a formal offer or whether negotiations have taken place.

Kavuma-McQueen’s profile lists him as a right winger and records both England and Uganda as his nationalities. He remains contracted to Chelsea until 30 June 2028, meaning any move would take place while he is under the club’s control rather than at the end of his current agreement.

Chelsea U21 compete in Premier League 2, the club’s development structure, while Portsmouth’s first team operates in the Championship. The reported link therefore connects Kavuma-McQueen’s existing development role with a move to a Championship club.

For now, Kavuma-McQueen remains a Chelsea U21 player, with his contract running until June 2028.
