Jamaican winger Dujuan “Whisper” Richards has moved from Chelsea to third-tier club AFC Wimbledon on a season-long loan, the clubs announced Tuesday.

The 20-year-old joined Chelsea in 2024 but has not broken into the Premier League club’s senior side. He spent last season on loan at Championship club Leicester City, where he made only a few cameo appearances.

AFC Wimbledon director of football Craig Cope said Richards was a talented player who could excite the club’s supporters. Richards signed for Chelsea directly from Kingston College in Jamaica after scoring more than 30 goals during an outstanding school season.

His progress at Chelsea was disrupted by a serious knee injury that required surgery. He then spent the previous season trying to regain his development after making a strong start with the club’s under-21 team.

We’re really excited for Dujuan to join the squad. He’s a quality player with exciting attributes. He’s a really talented player who will get the fans off their seats, and we’re pleased he’s joined the club.

— Craig CopeThe AFC Wimbledon director of football welcomed Richards to the club.
