Seyi Ojo playing for MK Dons against the Chelsea U-15 squad.
While you're probably all pondering the seemingly ludicrous price that was needed to pry him away from MK Dons (his former club), think about his track record: when he was only 13 years old, he was selected to play with the MK Dons U-18 squad, and on Wednesday, October 12 (the day that he was signed) he made his debut for the England U-16 team. Only two minutes after being substituted into a game against Northern Ireland, he assisted a goal by Mason Bennett to give England a 3-1 win. During that game, Chelsea staff immediately recognized his unlimited capabilities and bid three times in 45 minutes, aiming to sign the star player before any other major club. The initial two bids were rejected, but finally MK Dons agreed to a 1.5 million pound transfer fee, along with 500,000 pounds in additional benefits. He is known for his excellent composure and his ability to deal well with pressure (especially for being only 14). On the pitch, he is an intelligent, creative player that is also able to set up goals. Oluwaseyi, known as Seyi, strives to be like his Spanish heroes: Iniesta, Fabregas, and Xavi. If he becomes even half the quality player of one of those three exceptional footballers, then Chelsea will have made a very wise signing indeed.
I guess he doesn't worry about allowance
