Chelsea U21 squad got their preseason games off to a flying start at Cobham with a thumping 4-0 victory over German side FC Cologne on Saturday afternoon.
Chelsea youth team guru @chelseayouth has informed that German-born Nigeria-eligible fullback Derrick Abu was on target for Mark Robinson's team late in the second half.
Jayden Wareham scored the opening two goals in the first half before 18-year-old Abu and Jude Soonsup-Bell got on the score-sheet late in the second half to complete the rout.
Abu made nineteen appearances for Chelsea U18s team last season in all competitions, registering two goals in the league and one in the FA Youth Cup.
