Chelsea announce signing of Landon Emenalo

Chelsea have announced that Landon Emenalo, son of former Nigeria international and former Chelsea technical director, Michael Emenalo has signed scholarship forms with the club and has been promoted to the U18 squad for the new season.

Landon followed his father to AS Monaco from Chelsea’s academy before eventually returning as a 12 year-old.
Chelsea says Landon is a player who thrives under pressure.

‘Landon is a composed, creative and knowledgeable midfielder who initially signed as an Under-8, before relocating to Monaco and then returning to Cobham as an Under-13. He notably thrives under pressure and in intense situations, which has earned him call-ups for England and USA international training camps.

‘Emenalo has quickly impressed and made his Under-21s debut against Colchester United in last season’s Premier League Cup,’ Chelsea wrote on its official website.

Emenalo has been capped by both England and the USA at youth level.
