Since penning his first professional contract at Stamford Bridge in November 2018, the 17-year-old has blossomed into a strong, fearsome midfielder who combines quick dribbling with innate goalscoring ability, of he has had to admit that he has ''got quicker and stronger thanks to the coaching staff."

He has continued to make his inestimable talents evident and there was even a certain time he scored in eight successive matches for the club's youth teams within September to November last year, a feat which earned him rave reviews in the press.

Thus, it was little wonder when he was named amongst the top five wonder kids to watch in English Football and he has never disappointed.

But therein lies the nub of the dilemma — while he consistently churns out awe-inspiring displays in the youth ranks, will his performances ever see him turn out for the senior side any time soon?
