U17 PL Cup : Golden Eaglets-eligible winger on target for Chelsea in 3-0 win v Arsenal

Chelsea began their quest to win the 2022-2023 U17 Premier League Cup with a 3-0 win over Arsenal on Tuesday, September 13.

According to Chelsea youth team insider Chelsea Youth, talented Chinonso Chibueze was among the scorers for the Blues.

The 2006-born winger is eligible to represent five-time world champions at U17 level, Golden Eaglets through his father.

Chelsea's other scorers in the comprehensive win against the Gunners were Tyrique George and Frankie Runham.

With his participation in yesterday's London derby, Chibueze is unlikely to be named in the matchday squad when Chelsea take on Austrian side Salzburg in the UEFA Youth League at Cobham this afternoon.

He is one of six teenagers of Nigerian descent named to Chelsea's UEFA Youth League roster, the others being Prince Adegoke, Richard Olise, Somto Boniface, Louis Flower and intelligent left-footed winger Tudor Mendel-Idowu.

Chibueze signed a scholarship contract with Chelsea before the start of the season, a deal that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until at least June 30, 2024.
