Chelsea academy star Jude Soonsup-Bell just turned 17-years old yesterday, and today he has celebrated signing his first professional contract with the club.
Chelsea will be relieved to tie him down as a pro player with other clubs circulating the highly rated forward looking to tempt him away, knowing the raw talent that he has.

This is a real sentiment of the quality that he has got, and if you have yet to watch him play for the academy, I’d highly recommend taking some time out of your day to watch some of his videos.
It is not often that you will watch a player and be wowed by the fact that they already have that extra factor about their game, that little something that makes them stand out. But Soonsup-Bell has it, and he has it in abundance.
He was training with the Chelsea first team at just the age of 16, and he certainly didn’t look out of place at all. He is the type of player who has pure confidence to express himself, full of tricks, drive, and plays direct with a lot of pace.
Watching him come through the academy has been a joy, and he has been the name that always sticks out in your head when watching across all levels.
No doubt that this will not be the only time that Chelsea will have to fight for his signature, but this time they won, and this is a great result. He is already knocking hard on the office door of Frank Lampard.
