# Video: Chelsea starlet Ben Elliot’s outrageous nutmeg

Chelsea have one of the largest youth academies in English football which would explain the large amount of players out on loan.

This has not always translated to bringing through talented youngsters into the first-team in recent years, with John Terry still the last academy product to become a first-team regular.

The likes of Josh McEachran, Gael Kakuta, Dominic Solanke and Patrick Bamford have all flattered to become Chelsea regulars but ultimately failed to make the grade.

With players such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Nathan Ake and Nathaniel Chalobah all in and around the first-team squad, hopefully, that can change but the Blues do have one talented young player in their ranks who has shown that special something.
