17-year-old Nigeria-eligible Defender Pens Professional Deal With Chelsea

Teenage Star Olutayo Peter Subuloye Signs First Professional Contract with Chelsea

English prodigy Olutayo Peter Subuloye has signed his first professional contract with Chelsea, the two-time UEFA Champions League winners.

The 17-year-old, who hails from Eastbourne, England, recently celebrated his birthday just five days ago. As a special gift, Chelsea rewarded him with a professional deal, marking a significant milestone in his career. Subuloye joined the Blues' youth ranks after moving from Brighton and Hove Albions U-12 team several years ago.

Initially starting his career as a midfielder, Tayo transitioned to central defence as he developed. He has since become a standout player for Chelseas U-18 team, renowned for his leadership on the pitch, his ability to organize his teammates, and his skillful distribution from the back.
