Until the age of seven, the former Blues ace lived in Germany as he played for amateur side TSV Lehnerz. But when he moved to the South Coast of England due to his mother’s new job role, he caught the eye of Chelsea scouts and joined their academy as a young boy.<\/p>\n
He was a valued member of the academy at Cobham and might have been part of the group that graduated to the first team under Frank Lampard in 2019-20, but the issue of his contract forced him to leave.<\/p>\n

Chelsea and the FA are family for me, and I am sure, even when I am not there, I remain a member of the family.”<\/p>\n More recently, he told Sport Bild: “The Premier League is a really strong league, the biggest stars go there.

While the American had no influence over Musiala’s future as it was before their time, it offers yet another example of Chelsea must learn from their mistakes and try not to let any more world-class players like Musiala slip through their academy net.<\/p>\n
