Chelsea youngster Jude Soonsup-Bell got on the scoresheet in only his second game for the Under 23s in the 6-1 win over Manchester United on Friday.
The striker is just 16 years of age but, after making a huge impression at Under 18 level, it was decided to move him up age groups and he is already looking very much at home in Premier League 2:

Soonsup-Bell had already scored nine goals in eight Under 18 Premier League games this campaign and racked up four goals in just one FA Youth Cup match versus Barnsley last month. Fans on Twitter are getting rather excited by the teenager’s potential:
Soonsup will be like Kane

It will certainly be interesting to see how Soonsup-Bell develops over the course of the season. If he begins scoring regularly at Under 23 level, as he has done in other age groups, it won’t be long before he is knocking on the door for first-team opportunities. Manager Frank Lampard will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on him.
