The Beast may have joined Chelsea as a six-year-old, but his dad Nigel had a hands-on strategy in his growth. He was taught football by his dad, who'd decide on all the drills that he'd do, the food that he'd take, and also the way he'd behave both on and off the pitch. It would be an understatement if we said that his father was just involved in his career. This defender had natural athletic ability, and it was nurtured by his father and the other coaches at Chelsea's academy. He has been a massive Chelsea fan from the beginning and has been extremely fortunate to have been admitted to their academy. He passed his youth development with flying colors, and after a quick loan spell at Wigan Athletic in the Championship is now back at where he belongs. He's a physical player and uses his body to his advantage. He has excellent ball control skills and could improve if he gets his opportunities. Frank Lampard, the current Chelsea boss has placed his trust in the lad, which has earned him several call-ups to the first team. He still has a long way to go before he becomes a proper baller. Chelsea and even England will be closely monitoring his progress. He is yet to play for his country as a senior. He represents England's Under-21 team for now and progressed to it, incrementally, from the Under-18 level.
