Chelsea Boss Conte Runs The Rule Over Promising Nigerian Striker Ike Ugbo

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte was among the 5,000 onlookers that witnessed Chelsea win their fourth FA Youth Cup in a row following their 6-2 aggregate victory over Manchester City.

Two Nigerian players that starred and scored in last season's final, Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham, were invited to train with the Blues first team by the Italian during pre-season last summer.

Chelsea scored five goals against Manchester City on Wednesday night, but it was Ugbo's sublime strike in the first half that produced a brilliant reaction from Conte and the Italian was captured by the cameras smiling, as if to show he's impressed with his qualities.

London-born Ugbo joined Chelsea at U10 level and has racked up an impressive 62 goals for the U18, U19 and U23 teams since his debut in the 2013-14 season.

The 18-year-old signed professional terms with Chelsea in September 2015.
