Zale landed in London at 7am after a red eye flight from New York and headed straight to Cobham Training ground for a 10am session.  Nonetheless, Zale quickly impressed the Academy coaches with his all-round technique and ability to use both feet.

On the train ride back to Waterloo Station with Jonathan -- the striker wearing yellow boots -- the boys chatted the whole way about football (a heated debate about Lennon v Walcott), school, and living in London versus New York. We look forward to more exciting opportunities the partnership with Chelsea F.C. can bring to our players.
