Unseen Chelsea duo nominated for U18 Premier League Player of the Season
Chelsea’s academy continues to produce exciting young talent, with Mathis Eboue and Chizaram Ezenwata among the nominees for the Under-18 Premier League Player of the Season award.
The 2025/26 season has reaffirmed Chelsea’s status as a talent factory, with Mathis Eboue and Chizaram Ezenwata emerging as the latest stars of the Cobham production line.
Eboue, a 17-year-old winger who joined from Watford, has enjoyed a breakout campaign, registering 10 goals and 6 assists in 24 U18 Premier League appearances.
Ezenwata has been equally prolific, notably scoring a hat-trick for England at the 2025 U17 World Cup against Haiti, as well as scoring 15 and assisting seven in Chelsea’s U18 South title-winning side.
And the Premier League have given them their recognition this season.
Realistically, how much is Cole Palmer worth?🤔

We’ve already seen the likes of Shim Mheuka, Jesse Derry, Reggie Walsh and other academy players get handed chances in the current campaign, but it may hinge on who Chelsea’s next manager is.
