But Liverpool stepped in after it was clear he would not agree a new Stamford Bridge contract this summer.

Christie-Davies follows fellow 20-year-old Dominic Solanke, who made the same move 14 months ago.

Former Vitesse loanee Solanke has since fought his way to the fringes of a regular role at Anfield and also helped England to Under-20 World Cup glory.
