Chelsea are being accused of ruining an 11-year old youngster's career before it;s even began.
The player in question is 11-year old starlet Emran Soglo, who has been in fine form for the club's Under 13's side, scoring a remarkable 11 goals and nine assists in just four outings.
According to French outlet FootMercato, Chelsea are worried that his sublime run of form is attracting too much interest from top European clubs and they have opted to play him in different positions to lessen his impact and not highlight his natural qualities.

The player's mother is not happy with the situation.
When asked about the predicament, she said:
"I can't stand my son being hidden any longer"
FootMercato reports that the player's family have made it clear to the club that they want out, with the issue being that the player is allegedly not enjoying his football.

Manchester City are said to be interested, while the report says that Spain could also be a destination.
This one's definitely worth keeping an eye on.
