Chelsea Youth Part 3... Jay Dasilva

My third and finally part about the rich vein of talent that Chelsea have in their ranks, Jay Dasilva, he is left sided player who started off at left back however got pushed further forward, to play as a winger, for the reason that there was much more he could give to the team in an attacking sense and adapted to his new position further forward superbly.



Dasilva was snapped up with his twin brothers Cole and Rio in a well published deal, Dasilva made his debut when he was still at school and became a key part of the youth set up, furthermore Dasilva captained the U16’s to Premier League International Tournament success in 2013. Towards the end of the 2013-14 season that’s when Dasilva was pushed further forward and not really looked back since, with a number of notable performances scoring against Fulham in the final of the first leg which would be Dasilva’s first goal of the season. In the 2014-15 season Dasilva went on to make 40 appearances across all 3 U21 competitions with 19 appearances and 1 goal in the U18’s, 9 appearances in the UEFA Youth League and finally another 12 in the U21’s. Dasilva the same as Abraham and Solanke have won back to back FA Youth Cups and the UEFA Youth League, where in the UEFA Youth League final a certain Mr Ian Wright hailed Jay Dasilva’s performance and I quote  “Jay da silva left back better player than any current prem left back.' Which to receive that praise from someone like Ian Wright, Dasilva must have been ecstatic and to be mentioned not one of the best left backs in the Premier League but the best, Ian Wright is really stating something, in which we have players like César Azpilicueta, Lieghton Baines and Ryan Bertrand, but still finds Dasilva better which is astonishing.



After a successful season in the U21 with winning both the FA Youth Cup and the UEFA Yotuh League, Dasilva was given a first team call up to the tour of Thialand and Austraila.
Me personally I think Jay Dasilva is the heir to Ashley Cole furthermore a real up and coming prospect, for England at left back.
