He played a key part in Chelsea’s run to the FA Youth Cup final in the 2019/20 campaign as he started every game while also featuring on seven occasions for Andy Myers’s title-winning development squad.

The 18-year-old scored his first goal in a 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

His efforts were rewarded with a place on the bench for senior games against Manchester City and Arsenal towards the end of the campaign, while he was also named the Academy Player of the Year.
