Chelsea Legend full of praise for Lewis Hall following performance vs Manchester City.

 The Chelsea Legend has praised Lewis Hall for his superb performance against Manchester City. 

Chelsea Legend, John Terry has hailed Lewis Hall for his excellent display for the Blues against Manchester City. The 18-year old had made his senior debut earlier in January becoming our youngest player ever in the FA Cup and the ninth youngest ever to play for the club all told.

Ten months later, the youngster has only gotten better and has caught even the eye of Chelsea Legend, John Terry. 

John Terry took to twitter on Wednesday to hail Lewis Hall. He wrote on twitter: "What a great first half performance from Lewis Hall."

 Meanwhile, Lewis Hall was excited aftermaking his second first team appearance for the Blues. He said as quoted by WAGNH:

“Disappointing result obviously, losing the game, and being knocked out from the competition so early. But personally, it’s what you dream of as a kid, playing in the biggest games [like] against a top top team in City at the Etihad. So really happy, yeah.

“[City are] one of the best the best teams in the world. [It was] very tough and physically demanding against [them] but I think we still had chances where we could have potentially got ourselves back into the game or put ourselves ahead. So yeah, I think we can take positives from the game.”

On his favorite position on the pitch, Hall said:

“If I’m honest, I prefer playing in the middle of the pitch. I feel like that’s where I can be most effective whether as a pivot or as an eight [but] I’ve played left side quite a lot. [...] I like to have that versatility so when the manager picks a team there’s different positions that you can be selected for.

“[I’m] taking it one step at a time [...] opportunities like this are something that you’re not quite expecting but it’s happened all so quickly that I think I’ve just got to take it one week at a time and from one game to the next. [...] Players like Reece, Mason, Trev [are] a big inspiration to all the young players who are training with the first team and getting experiences like I did tonight. I think everyone realizes that is possible.”

Magical display and goal from Nicolas Jackson that shows he's Chelsea's next Didier Drogba.

Image
 Nicolas Jackson was on target for the Blues in their 4-1 trashing of Burnley yesterday.  Raheem Sterling takes the ball from midfield and turns around on his marker to leave him biting dust. Once in the final third he finds Cole Palmer in the box, who calmly lays it to Nicolas Jackson right in front of goal. The striker does very well in controlling the ball, adjusting his footing, and striking it for Chelsea’s fourth goal against Burnley. Comparisons have been made with Nicolas Jackson's stats for the Blues and that of Legend, Didier Drogba. Jackson's first goal for the club was a Drogba-esque one.  However, this performance and display from Jackson vs Burnley will convince you that he's just Chelsea's next hit striker after Didier Drogba: VIDEO: Chelsea may have just found their next Didier Drogba in Nicolas Jackson.

Chelsea have renewed their interest in Everton midfielder Amadou Onana, according to reports. The Blues were heavily linked with a move for the Belgian in January but a deal never came to fruition. Onana, who only signed for Everton last summer, was one of the Toffees' best players in the 2022/23 season and played a starring role in sustaining their Premier League status. After an impressive first half of the season in England, there was dialogue between Chelsea and the 21-year-old's entourage but he remained at Goodison Park and Enzo Fernandez was signed instead. Now, with Mauricio Pochettino seeking a new midfielder to bolster his squad ahead of next season, it has been reported that the Blues have revived their interest in the former Lille midfielder...
