Five Chelsea FC Under 21 Players Ready For The First Team
4. Patrick Bamford
Age: 20
Patrick Bamford is making waves this pre season as the Chelsea coaches see him as a definite Chelsea player whether it will be this season Is still in question. Although premier league clubs like QPR are queuing up to take him on loan if Mourinho choses to loan him out again. After scoring 25 goals last campaign for MK Dons and Derby, Bamford has proven that he is ready to make the first team. He is a strong forward with an eye for goal. He can score with either foot, and can play on the wing although he thrives as a center forward. He scored against Wycombe showing his intelligence by making a neat run to the far post before tucking away Nathan Ake’s cross. Patrick Bamford should continue to impress on the pre season tour, and I think he will be Chelseas third strike for the upcoming premier league campaign.
