Barnet boss says signing Chelsea youngster is ‘huge coup’

Barnet have signed Chelsea forward Malakai Mars for an undisclosed fee.

Mars was a youth-team player at Barnet before joining the Blues. He later had a brief loan spell at Derby County.

Barnet boss Rossi Eames told his club’s website: “It’s a great coup to sign Malakai from Chelsea.

“I know the player well and am delighted to be working with him again.

“He will add to our attacking front line with goals and pace. He will also learn and develop with the Under-21s throughout the week.”
