Published: March 10, 2020Poole-born midfielder of Nigerian descent, Faustino Anjorin has spoken of his happiness at making his English Premier League debut for Chelsea in their 4-0 hammering of Everton at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, March 8.
The England U19 international entered the pitch as a substitute in the 71st minute to replace Willian and only a great tackle from Toffees defender Djibril Sidibe in the 81st minute prevented him from finding the net in his maiden appearance in the English top-flight.
Eleven years after Anjorin's arrival at Stamford Bridge, he pulled on a Chelsea shirt with the number 55 on the back for the first time n the Premier League.
Writing on Instagram on Monday, Anjorin said : "I’m so happy to make my Premier league debut yesterday for both myself and my family.
"It’s been a long road and I know I have further to go but thank you to the academy staff at Chelsea for helping me get this far!"
Reacting to Faustino's debut, his proud Nigerian dad Sheriff Anjorin tweeted : "I’m not sure it’s even possible to be more proud. Stay humble".
Fasutino Anjorin made his professional debut for Chelsea in their League Cup win vs Grimsby Town last September and was on the bench in the recent Emirates FA Cup win against Liverpool.
