Tayo Subuloye put on the captain’s armband of the Blues U18 team to help them overpower the Aston Villa team 6-2 on Saturday; the young star was on target for his first goal in the league.
This victory is particularly important for the London club U18 since it is their first victory in the 2024-2025 season after three consecutive losses.
Nigerian Influence in the Blues Setup
Hassan Sulaiman, who is the Under-18 Nigerian coach at Chelsea, put his trust in Tayo Subuloye and Landon Emenalo, Michael Emenalo’s son.
Subuloye’s header equalised Aston Villa’s early lead after George Hemmings scored inside ten minutes.
In a previous report from Sportsbuddy, Chelsea’s official website have confirmed that the club signed Tayo Subuloye and eight other youth talents.
Chelsea’s Second Half Dominance
The young Blues triumphed with five goals: two scored by Ryan Kavuma-McQueen, the others by Sol Gordon, Frankie Runham, and Yahya Idrissi, which enabled their team to make a 6-2 victory.
Subuloye is expected to have his first professional contract with the Blues by December 2024.
