5 signs Chelsea’s future is bright after the Under-21s’ Checkatrade Trophy exit

Dujon Sterling

Dujon Sterling started on Tuesday evening at left wing, but can comfortably play in defence, central midfield and as a striker, as well.

Despite Chelsea performing below par over the whole game at Exeter, Sterling did have a good performance and was one of the key players in the whole game.

His speed and crossing ability gave City full-back Pierce Sweeney a lot to deal with and Chelsea had a couple of good chances via Sterling’s creativity.

Dujon has already featured for England at Under-16 and Under-17 level, and is currently part of the Under-19 set up, where has been capped three times.

The 16-year-old is already showing signs of versatility and the attacking mind of the modern-day full-back. Sterling has scored once in seven appearances for Chelsea’s Under-23 side in Premier League 2 this term.
