https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2021/07/05/meet-the-2021-22-academy-scholars Meet the 2021/22 Academy scholars 07 Jul 2021 Our Academy teams returned to training on Monday along with 10 new scholars who recently signed their agreements ahead of the new season. https://i.imgur.com/xPejUyd.jpg Ed Brand will remain in charge of our Under-18s in 2021/22 and will hope to build on a challenging campaign for our youngsters last term, in which we finished seventh in the league and exited the FA Youth Cup at the fifth round stage. Despite this, plenty of exposure to youth team football was handed to our schoolboys, with Ronnie Stutter, Lewis Hall, Brodi Hughes and Leo Casteldine regulars in the team and never looking out of place, contributing 20 starts throughout the season. https://i.imgur.com/Q57KRgt.jpg “It's a very proud moment… I hope to follow in the footsteps of players like Mason Mount" | Scholar signings 2021/22 All players in their Under-17 year are required to start the season on a scholarship agreement, before they are permitted to sign a first professional football contract on or after their 17th birthday. After the players put pen to paper in a socially-distanced signing session at Cobham, we spoke to assistant head of youth development Jim Fraser for the lowdown on the 10 new scholars... Leo Castledine (B2B中场) https://i.imgur.com/XunmWtm.jpg Leo is a midfielder who joined us as an Under-15 from AFC Wimbledon. An attacking midfield player who has the ability to play box-to-box, he likes to create and score goals and is very tenacious in the tackle. He has represented England at camps at Under-15 and Under-16 level and scored one goal for the youth team in 10 appearances while still a schoolboy. Louis Flower (高中锋、可左可中) https://i.imgur.com/39tzoSf.jpg Louis joined our Academy as an Under-13 from his local side Cambridge United. A tall and strong forward, Louis can operate from the left or in the centre and has an eye for goal. Lewis Hall (B2B中场、左路通吃) https://i.imgur.com/pF7J4XI.jpg Lewis came through our development centre programme and has been at the club since his Under-8 season. He is a talented left-footed central midfield player with the ability to play box-to-box and operate anywhere on his favoured side of the pitch. He can score and create goals as seen during his nine appearances for the Under-18s while a schoolboy where he scored one goal. He has represented England at camps during his Under-15 and Under-16 seasons. Brodi Hughes (中卫、边後卫、中场) https://i.imgur.com/FFto5mZ.jpg Brodi has been with us since he was eight, having come through our development centre programme. He is a central defender who sometimes operates as a full-back or central midfielder due to his versatility. He enjoys playing with the ball at his feet and has represented England at Under-17 level. There were eight Under-18s appearances for Hughes while still a schoolboy and he scored his first goal at that level against Brighton in March 2020. Tudor Mendel-Idowu (左脚边锋、中场) https://i.imgur.com/wqtIUSY.jpg Tudor has been part of the club since his Under-8 season, first registering for the Academy as an Under-9. A talented left-footed attacking player who can play out wide or through the middle, Tudor attends Eton College where he studies a range of subjects including English, Greek, German, Latin, Maths and Physics, and has been involved in England camps at Under-15 level. Richard Olise (右後卫) https://i.imgur.com/nLOt8YH.jpg Richard came through our development centre and registered at the Academy as an Under-9. A very calm and composed right-sided defender who has the ability to both defend and attack, he has all the attributes of a modern-day full-back. As well as appearing for our Under-18s in the league last season, he has been involved with England up to Under-16 level. Samuel Rak-Sakyi (中场) https://i.imgur.com/XB3iHop.jpg A central midfield player, Sam has been a part of the Academy since he was an eight-year-old. He has very good technique and game awareness for his age and has been involved with England Under-16s. Zain Silcott-Duberry (多位置进攻球员) https://i.imgur.com/SKMuTTq.jpg An exciting attacker who can play in a number of positions with his favoured right foot, Zain has been involved with England as an Under-16. He made his Chelsea Under-18s debut last season while still a schoolboy during the 4-0 win away at West Ham in January 2021. Ronnie Stutter (前锋) https://i.imgur.com/mkDUa7f.jpg Ronnie is a forward who joined us after he left West Ham at the end of his Under-14 season. A constant threat who loves scoring goals, Ronnie already has one at Under-18s level having made 10 outings for Brand's team as a schoolboy last term. He has England recognition and recently captained the Under-16s during a 2021 summer camp. Billy Gee (中场、後卫) https://i.imgur.com/cgavuNR.jpg Billy came through our development centre programme and has been with us since his Under-8 year. A talented and technical player, Billy's main position is central midfield but he has the ability to drop in to the defensive line. He has been involved with England and scored his first goal for the Under-16s during a recent get-together. Contract news Also at Cobham this week to sign new professional deals were Teddy Sharman-Lowe and Jimi Tauriainen, who will stay at the club until at least 2024. Meanwhile, Joe Haigh has committed himself to the Blues until 2023. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://twitter.com/chelseayouth/status/1412471820331143170 http://thechels.net/2021/06/the-chelsea-academy-class-of-2021/ While not a scholar until next summer, goalkeeper Ted Curd is expected to be a big part of the Under-18 team this season after breaking into the squad as an Under-15 midway through the year and going on to establish himself as first choice, making more appearances than any other stopper. Circumstances helped him get there, but his performances kept him there, and he'll join second-years Prince Adegoke and Sami Tlemcani in contesting the number one job. Fellow Under-16s Ato Ampah, Harrison Murray-Campbell, Michael Golding, Tyrique George and Donnell McNeilly have all caught the eye for club and/or country in recent years and can be expected to be first in line to earn chances to step up and play as the academy always looks to push through the best and brightest of the next generation early on. Best wishes also go to those departing the academy and continuing their careers elsewhere; Amani Richards (Arsenal), Finley Munroe (Aston Villa), Dubem Eze (Derby County), Carlos Richards (West Ham United), Filip Lissah, Zane Myers, David Roberts and Kyrell Wilson (all Swansea). English youth football has entered an even more competitive era in the post-Brexit transfer world where clubs can no longer recruit from overseas with the same freedoms as before, while the Category One ranks continue to swell with the arrivals of Birmingham City and Nottingham Forest this summer. That competitiveness is reflected in a recent changing of the guard; Chelsea haven't won the domestic Under-18 South title in three seasons and are without an FA Youth Cup crown for the same length of time. The work to get back to the summit begins now. -- http://jamescaesar.pixnet.net/album/photo/110781933 永远以摸过它为荣 --
