Focus on Chelsea FC Youth – #3 Jeffrey Bruma

One of the highlights of last season was the emergence of Jeffery Bruma as a star in the making.

The 18 year old defender has had an amazing 12 months which has included his first team and international debuts as well as an FA Youth Cup winners medal.

It was during the FA Youth Cup run that Chelsea fans had the best opportunity to see his talent as he turned in performances that showed his maturity and ability all along the back line in a victorious cup run.

Able to play at right back and centre back, the new squad rules and his versatility mean that he is likely to add to his 3 first team appearances earned so far in the coming season.

Combining first team responsibilities with his youth team duties, it is hard to believe that the Dutchman is still only 18 and with time and talent on his side.

As the pressure begins to mount on the academy to produce the £100,000 signing from Feyenoord looks as if he is about to repay the clubs investment.

Here are a few videos showcasing the Dutchman’s talent, apologies for any dodgy music.
