Chelsea Whizkid Anjorin Could Benefit From New Rule Change If Premier League Resumes

Published: May 18, 2020

Faustino Anjorin could be set to play more role for Chelsea on resumption of the league season, following the recent substitution rule that will be set in motion, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

Having rose through the club's youth ranks, the talented teenager has already made two senior appearances for the Blues this season, a 7–1 EFL Cup win against Grimsby Town while also featuring in a 4-0 league victory versus Everton in their last game before football was suspended.

With the new Premier League rule stipulating that teams will be able to make up to five substitutions in a game, it could see the Nigeria-eligible youngster earn more appearances for Chelsea, and probably go on to enjoy a successful career at Stamford Bridge.

Anjorin has established himself as one of the most important players at Cobham this season, as he is currently the top scorer for the U23 side in the Premier League 2 with five goals and captains the U18s in the prestigious FA Youth Cup.

The versatile midfielder's talents are already evident at home, with the NFF keeping tabs on him with a view to convincing him to pledge his international future to Nigeria.
